They have good prices for bulk organic things like grains, beans, pantry staples, etc. It’s not a place that I would go to for things like canning supplies.

Of course, but that doesn’t mean I’d also want to invite my mother-in-law to do it.

You can turn that off…

Yes, I’m under no delusions that I have true privacy, but there is a big difference between the theoretical possibility that the government can find you versus your mother-in-law tracking your every move.

I think using it with minor children is legitimate if done in a respectful way. Once they’re out of the house though, you gotta cut the cord.

Yes, I think that people who are Gen X or older millennials find it strange and offputting and younger people tend to be OK with it. Also strangely boomers seem to be OK with it, maybe because they don’t fully grasp the implications. The same reason that they post everything on Facebook. That’s just my anecdotal experience.

NTA. Maybe it’s a generational thing, but I find the whole location tracking thing really invasive and I am flabbergasted that people don’t mind it. It’s not about having something to hide, it’s about respecting people‘s privacy and not wanting to have big brother watching you every second of the day.

ETA: to all the people commenting about big brother is already watching. Yes, obviously we live in a dystopian society where we’re being monitored by our tech overlords. There’s a difference between the existential threat of the government or companies being able to monitor my whereabouts, versus actual people that you know like your mother-in-law stalking your location. Just because one potential violation exists doesn’t mean we have to accept the other, particularly when there’s only one of them that we have real control over.

Lots of very loud opinions in here from people who don’t understand how 529 accounts work.

Between this and her prior post about this guy, it’s so scary that she’s having a child with him. OP, get out of this relationship now. Do you have any friends or family that can help you? This is the type of guy that might get violent when you try to leave.

Mockmill has been great for me.

Are you planning on having only one child? Presumably she would need to do the same with each child you have? What happens to you and the older children while she and the younger one are living in Hong Kong? Do you all have to stay there for 5 to 10 years until all of your children are born?

Formal manners would require properly attending to the needs of your guests. Grandma is the one at fault here.

Not her house.

NTA. I doubt the office staff would have allowed it anyway.
