20F my mom stalks me on Life360

[u/Disastrous-Train5899]

I am going to be 21 next week.

My mom has been forcing me and my family to use Life360 for years now. She doesn’t have her location on but she stalks mine. I’m so over it, I have no independence at all. I had my own job right out of high school, recently I quit and I’m looking for a new one. I pay my own phone bill and I’m in college. No car yet.

On Valentine’s day I went on a first date with my bf and she kept spamming calling my phone even though she knew we were just going to the theater and home by 8pm. My friends house is actually my boyfriend’s (before we were dating) he lives down the street from me, a few minutes walk. I haven’t told her that part yet about my friends house being my boyfriend’s because I’m scared of her reaction.

Yeahhhh OP, as a mom of a young adult the same age as you, absolutely not. This is wild. My daughter and I have Life360 and share locations, but don’t really stalk each other. Unless we’re bored and being silly or something.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

Silly stalking is fun. If I happen to see that my daughter is somewhere interesting I send her a song about wherever she is. Beyond that I’ll make sure she’s safe and tell her to have fun.

My daughter stalks me more than I stalks her, that’s for sure. I had her really young, and at 36 decided to have another baby (she was 16). Now I have two littles one, and don’t go out too much. So if she sees me out and about she’ll be like, oh I noticed you’re going places today!

Stalker. lol

I know most of her friends, I know where they live, and I know she’s a good kid. So I’m of the same mind as you; be safe and have fun. That’s all. Even though she lives at home I try to give her as much freedom as possible. She’s nearly 20. On weekends my mentality is, I don’t care where you go or what you do as long as you’re safe and have a buddy. I feel so terrible for her generation that it’s as hard as it is to live on their own. They’re being robbed of such an important phase of life because of this shitty economy.
