Nah, i trust my kids school to contact me if they need to.
It's more about your needs, not emergencies. Text your kid what them to do when they're home, 3 rolls around they text you back saying they made plans sorry. Now that chore you wanted done before you were home isn't getting done and you've gone about your whole day under the assumption it would happen
Friggin teach your kid they can't make plans without checking with you first, then? Besides, what if you text them at noon and they made plans with their friend at 10am? How is that any different?
Kids, famous for following instructions and total obedience
Then you'd know immediately, and can make other plans or tell them no and not have them be super pissy at you for a week for forcing them to cancel their plans to do chores.
That sounds like a you problem, maybe you should raise your kids to be more conscientious lol
I mean for fucksake, my friend's 15 year old knows he can't make plans without checking with mom, even just as a courtesy. Raise a good kid and it's not a problem, just don't let them do whatever the fuck they want?
That doesn't really sound like a "need" situation.
