Do you expect texts when your child makes it to and from school or is that too overbearing?

I'm home when he comes from school but in the morning i expect a text to make sure he got there ok. Same goes for when he goes to a friends or his dads place. Some say it's too tiger mom but i don't care.

Yes. It is. But you're not going to stop and you don't care to, so why ask?

@froggtongue i was curious if anyone else did it and wanted opinions because ive been told before it's suffocating

@blackdiamonds Okay. Well then, instead of us and those others, have you talked to your own child about this? See what he thinks? If it's overbearing for him, you might want to take that into account. If he's fine with it, that should totally resolve your point.

@froggtongue i overheard him with his friend once saying he feels like a prisoner

@blackdiamonds Ah. So you [i]haven't[/i] talked to him. Don't you think the direct approach might be good to try out? See if a compromise could work?
