Please take my endorsement of your criticism.

I've not been a parent, but I think it actually sounds pretty nice to be able to check where your kid is, before a certain age.

For a young kid, who cant advocate for themselves or otherwise be trusted to know when to seek help from an adult, theres really not much expectation of privacy? You should probably know where your 6 y/o is at all times, I don't find that particularly creepy.

The peace of mind having access to a findmy network for my keys and other devices saves me an embarrassing amount of anxiety. These are inanimate objects that are at most an inconvenience to lose, and they cant wander off on their own. Given how I'm willing to essentially track myself for keys, I can see how parents justify tracking their kids to and from school.

The sheer terror that they must sometimes feel if the bus is late or their kid decides to follow a friend home must be pretty unbearable. When they're old enough for a phone or to otherwise access a trusted adult when needed, then I can see an argument to be made for their autonomy.

Could this have something to do with the circumstances that lead to a single-parent household?

Theres lots of ways for a father figure to not be associated with a child, to have much less expectation from society to step in. Giving birth to a child, its not really ambiguous that you are indeed the mother. I think its harder to create a single parent household where theres only a father figure, fathers can disappear or never be known (Mothers can too, I know). Did the study account for single-parent households with a father figure being more likely to exist because a father figure more often has a "choice" in continuing to raise the child, and that decision is indicative of their felt responsibility and might be made with respect to their financial ability?

I guess what I'm asking is, was this study controlled for income, familial support, etc?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious as to the details and if the correlation is really just whether it's a male father figure?

They have potential. It is time to weaponize snails.

I say do it! Even if its not polished, I find just getting thoughts on paper can slow down my brain and help me flesh out my own ideas. Might speed up your cooking to first draft a meta post (i.e. what your page is about, who it is for, etc.).

Then you can practice being clear and concise; whittle down your 'ramblings' into more clearly defined chunks.

Maybe then it could be easier see how your ideas are connected, helping you find a good interactive format.

Where can I go to buy my data, and how much will it cost me?
