Asking is not the same as expecting permission to be sought. I think kids do appreciate concern, but not efforts to control them once they are adults.
funz
you are blessed with a close knitted family. I wish mine is such.
Asking is a show of concern or care. We dont ask strangers how they are etc. Again, not all will think in this way. -

When my daughter studied overseas, besides our regular chats and WA, she told me that following her on Instagram was the best way to keep up with her activities. She knew I was interested but wouldn't expect to be asked permission.
Uh... I think she meant that her mother monitors her grand kids' accounts like a policewoman...
We can try, but kids today, they will always come up with ways to defeat our \"security\"...
And both my girls still tell me where they go and with whom as a safety precaution. My husband and I give them the same courtesy as we live in the same household. -
No policewoman, just that grandkids post, the grandma saw it. Yea grandma is active in aocial media with friends. Likes to take pictures too…
Though not living together, we will still message in our group chat like reached destination/home. We have our sisters& mom group chat for many years then added my brother few years ago. Dont have time to listen to all chat nevermind…if we have certain chat to that particular person we will put up the name. We find it more efficient as in all in the loop.
With my dh’s side, we have another group chat. -

Grp too . N they use voice messages . Everyday also got updates . My mum will read / listen to all msg frequently. I think it’s a sister thing , families with more women/sisters , chat , updates, travel , get together more often . The husbands also need to join in 😆 -
It’s quite easy to keep tab/check pulse through group chats and video calls (for kids, can observe the background/surrounding - 看穿不说穿）
Have always been jokingly telling kids they are Sun Wukong and I am Rulai Fo, cannot escape from 5-fingers, and Rulai will drop in to spot-check them to ensure no "excursion" from my "monitoring". They still tell me where they are going, what they buy/eat, who they go with, …" -

I never get the hang of voice messages. I just had lunch and there was this Chinese guy sitting near me who kept speaking on the phone, then stopped to read his mobile and get some bites of his food, then spoke to his phone again and the whole cycle repeats again for many times. I was annoyed and quickly finished my meal and left fast. He was still doing it when I left :faint: . Wouldn't it be easier for him just to have a normal phone conversation on his mobile?
... N they use voice messages .
