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.

If it's just a text, then I don't see an issue.

But I'd say, instead of a text that you made it there safely (which might sound a bit overbearing)... I'd simply reword it, I want you to text me when you get somewhere period...

Not if you're safe or not, but for where I know where to come pick you up if the world starts to end.

So if you go to school, text me your at school... if you're at Marcus ' house, text me your at Marcus' house. If you're at Dads house, text me your at Dads house...

I don't care if you're okay or not, I just want to know where you are to pick you up if I need you. (In all actually, you actually do care how they are, like you care a lot, but if you don't want to be over baring then play it off as you're not).
