My daughter who is aged 27 is travelling in India at the moment, and a friend was shocked when I told her I hadn't tried to contact her. Recently I was listening to Woman's Hour, and the debate concerned whether parents/grandparents should be in constant contact with their children when they were travelling abroad on gap years or the equivalent. I was amazed and saddened that parents would expect to be kept constantly updated on Facebook for example. Whatever has happened to privacy and a sense of adventure. These parents seem to feel entitled to be a part of their children's lives on every level. Why can't they let go and trust their children to go it alone. The intrusiveness is just appalling. What do others think?
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
