      I mean, why would you not want this?

      I really like the idea of my kid having the ability to use my card for things in an emergency, but me being able to control it versus them just stealing my credit card.

      Seems like a pretty great feature IMO. Not sure why everyone seems to want to hate on it.

          I dont like the idea of google watching what my kids buy.

          So then clearly this product isn’t for you? But just because you wouldn’t use it doesn’t mean its a bad product, which is essentially what you’re saying.

              If you’re this scared to live in reality, then don’t. I don’t know what to tell you.

              If possessing a digital device is so scary for you, why do you have one?
