I don't want to be tracked by my husband's ex-wife

My stepdaughter has just got her first phone. Her mum has put a tracking app on it, which my husband also has access to.

I just don't feel comfortable thinking of SDD's mum following our every move on the days she is with us.

AIBU?

I can see why it’s irritating but you’ll
just have to put up with it. It’s not about you.

Your step daughters safety trumps your feelings.!

@bigageap

DSD is with her Dad & SM. Has been perfectly safe up until now. She's just got a phone (for secondary or whatever) there is no need for her to 'tracked' when she's in their care.

It's no different to her saying "we are off to the zoo this weekend" or going home and telling her mum what she did.

I doubt she's going to have the tracking up all weekend following your every move.

She is tracking your step daughter not you. NOYB yabu

It's not tracking you. It's tracking your daughters phone.

Yes, yabu

Same as your daughters friends don't get to decide her parents can't do that, because then her parents know where the friends are when they are all together.

This isn't your parenting choice to make. They parent how they want, znd it includes Life360. You parent the way you want, and it doesn't.

I mean, you could always join your dd to your own circle on Life360 and see where she is all the time. If you wanted.

Oh calm down, where are you planning on going?

FlickFlackTrap · 05/04/2024 18:54

How old is she? Does she need to have it with her when she’s out of the house?
