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.

How old is your son?
I think the school texts might be a little much, depending on his age, only because as a parent I want my child to learn the responsibility of making it to school on time.
As for the going to friends houses, I think you're good.

My boy will be 12 next month and I'll call him when he's playing outside with his friends if I feel the need to check on him.
