Location sharing with parents
My mother just asked me to share my location and I don't want to. I asked if she wants it everytime or just when I go out. She said everytime and it pisses me off. I don't even go out often and when I do, it's always WITH her for stuff like groceries (I don't hang out with friends. For real, I'm always at school or at home). Also, I heard about battery draining fast if the tracking stuff is always on. I'm 17 and I don't like the fact that she is trying to take my privacy (I see it this way) away just before I turn 18. When I was 11, she had no problem letting me alone at the park while my phone hadn't a phone number (so not usable without wifi) and suddenly, she wants me to share my location non stop... Like I paid my phone myself and I don't want it to he controlled. Another thing is like, if I accept, I'll be stuck with this tracking stuff forever because if I ask to remove it some day, it will look suspicious. Her argument is that anything can happen these days (which is true to me) but like, I still feel that she's overthinking. The only walk I take is from my bus stop to my house (4 mins of walk, straight line in my small street). She said it could be dangerous but my town is very chill and at the same time, she often walks alone (for about 30 mins) WITHOUT even her phone so it makes no sense to me. I don't know if I'm making a big deal for nothing but I'm upset and it feels unfair and controlling
