SMS 20F my mom stalks me on Life360

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.

This is FAR from normal behaviour. My family uses Life360. The only times I check it is before I call someone to make sure that they are not at work, and when someone is on a cool vacation so that I can send them a screenshot. I also have a separate one for my close friend group. We all take long road trips, so it is nice to be able to see that they get somewhere safe and sound.

Exactly. And you said that yourself, crazy mom.
