+283 Parents who constantly know what their kids are doing, shouldn't be parents. You should hope that you have a lot of trust in your child to know they won't do anything wrong unless they have done bad things in the past. amirite?

...It'd still be nice to know where they are in case of an emergency.

Ehh... kids who say that are just trying to get a little leeway to get away with stuff. Not that I disagree; I got away with lots of things. Just don't pretend like you'd care who was in your business if you didn't have anything to hide, or wish you COULD have something to hide.

Parents just need to find a happy medium between being complete control freaks and then not caring what their child or children are doing at all.

Parents who don't care where their kids are or what they're doing shouldn't be parents. The one who posted this and those who agree just want to be able to get away with more. If your parents are letting you get away with shit, then there's no point in them even parenting you. They just want you to stay out of trouble and not make bad decisions that will stick with you the rest of your lives because a lot of things kids want to get away with will lead to that. Parents just want the best for you, not to annoy the fuck out of you or make your lives miserable. Kids need to realize that and quit complaining about having to do chores and stuff because if not, then how the FUCK are you going to learn to grow and be able to take care of yourself in the future? You will thank them one day.

There is a big difference between not caring, and cutting a good already trustworthy kid some slack. Ive seen some extremely overprotected kids go totally ape-shit upon leaving home or doing worse stuff than a kid with a more chill family.

Of course there is, but this post is suggesting that parents should be completely slack unless the kid(s) have already done something wrong. Why shouldn't a parent know where their kids are and what they're doing? That doesn't necessarily mean that they're overprotective, but if something happens or if they need something they know where to go. If the parents just don't care at all where they're going and automatically trust their kids just because they've never been caught doing anything wrong, then why does that make it right for these young teenagers to run around and go to parties (which they WILL do if their parents don't know/care) and constantly put themselves in dangerous situations? They most likely will not quite understand that they are, which is part of what parents are for, to protect and teach their kids these things. Teenagers will agree with OP now, but once they are parents they will understand what it's like to want to protect their own children.

Oh, and why should they wait until you've already done something wrong? That's what they try to prevent in the first place.

Parents just do that stuff because they care. I'd rather have parents who want to know where I am and who I'm going to be with than parents who would actually believe I'm, "studying at the library with Jenny" after complaining about how they wouldn't let me visit my 21 year old boyfriend.

This post sounds like a whiny 13 year old wrote it.

I wouldn't say that they shouldn't be parents... and it would, to me, be dumb to give all that trust to your kid. Start with the little things and work your way up on the trust scale:)
