Gotta make sure they have an ~~ankle monitor~~ smart watch!
A smartwatch seems like an interesting way to keep in touch with your kid/keep track of them. I guess it could be abused like anything else though.
My nephew has one and I kind of love getting random "have you seen cheetozard" messages from him.
What is that lol
this thing
That's amazing. I want to have that kind of relationship with my future kids/nieces/nephews.
I don't want kids of my own but being an uncle definitely rocks
