grown kids

[countrygirl12]

I don't have a daughter but I can understand the worry. Does she have pepper spray? It might ease your mind a little.

Also, if she has an iPhone (not sure about Androids), there is an app called "find my friends". She can turn on her location so you can see it if something does happen.

The "friends" can also track where you are all the time.  Maybe the daughter doesn't want mommy to know where she is every minute of the day or evening.

I can understand being worried about anyone out alone in the world we live in today.

I think every parent still worries no matter what they're age

You're telling me!! My oldest son just turned 50 on Friday. My youngest will turn 48 in June. Both ride motorcycles and with all the accidents with motorcycles, especially cars not seeing them and running into them, I worry all the time. They both go to concerts in the cities and that worries me, too.  It never quits.

I have GPS tracking on all my kids' on their phones... they know & couldn't care less.  That generation is growing up not knowing privacy, which is sad.  They also have at least one app on their phones, I think it is on SnapChat, that tells the location of all their friends who opt in, so they know where their friends are at.  Just part of their life now.

Big Brother is always watching... it's 1984 & they've all agreed that it is fine when they opt on a new app.

It doesn't matter if it is daughters or sons.  I don't have any daughters but I have two sons and just because they are grown or have a car or are girls vs, boys there is still a lot of evil out in the world and all I know to do is pray for them but it doesn't stop me from worrying about them.

My worries are pretty minimized with my soon-to-be twenty two year old daughter and twenty year old son. Both kids were brought up with excellent communication skills, common courtesy, responsibility and consideration for others. I have also taught them to avoid situations where there may be additional risk. When they are home on break (Spring, Winter and Summer) they will text if they are going to be out later than one or if they are staying at a friend's house. I pay for their Uber rides home, no matter where they are, without any questions asked (even though they share the information voluntarily). I did worry, briefly, about my daughter when she went to Vietnam until she let me know that she was meeting two of her male classmates (when she studied abroad/Singapore).

My daughter and son drives a lot for their jobs, so I worry a little but I pray for them everyday and adk God to protect them in the highway and by ways

I always worry.  I even worried about my son.  I don't sleep well until they walk in that door.  And if they're staying out all night, they'd better tell me.

I have nieces & I can't imagine what I'd do if I was their mom. There still young now but 2 of them are in their early teens. They are literally blooming into women hood too scary for any parent.

I don't have a daughter or grown kids yet, but I see myself still worrying about them when they are grown. You don't stop being a parent when your kids grow up and as a parent, you know the dangers out there in the world.

I think you all are right.  We never stop worrying.  I worry about the older one too.  She's 38, single, mother of 5 kids.

   Young girls like to wonder early in the evening and sometimes at time.
    I know it is risky...very risky. Just talk to them about personal safery.

  Sometimes at night...instead sometimes at time.

I still worry about my grown daughters and also my grandchildren. It doesn't matter what sex they are - if you are a mother, you worry. It's part of motherhood.

I never worried too much about my daughter when she went out.  She can handle her self.  I would worried about the other person.

I have to sons and I have a tracker on the youngest one that is 29 because he has a health condition.  It comforts me to know I can get to him or send help if he's in distress.  This has always been normal for me and I guess it always will be.
