And, you know, they're welcome to have it, but I think it only makes them anxious. And so when you ask, like, what good does it do you to be so concerned that you have to reach your kid 24 hours a day and monitor them constantly and check on their whereabouts via app finders, what's wrong with you? Why can't you just let them be an adolescent or a teenager or an adult?
