Dear Fonseca,
My husband and I are arguing over our 16 year old daughter. She recently got her driver's license and is about to get her first car. He wants to hide an Apple Airpod in the car so we can track her at all times. Typical male. Always controlling. I am not in favor of this and think we need to allow our daughter some freedom so we can build trust with her. Putting an Airpod in her car, especially if she discovers it, doesn't build that trust or make her more responsible. He doesn't see it that way. He wants to clamp down on problems before they happen. Should we track her or not?
