The next time my mother-in-law stays with us here in The Villages and since The Villages is so large and confusing, I strongly suggested to my wife to attach the Apple tracking device to her mother since her mother is in her 70's. In the past, I used to slip an old I-Phone inside my golf cart when my mother-in-law traveled by herself and used the location finder app to at least track the golf cart when she traveled solo.

My wife believes this is an invasion of privacy and I believe its a safety issue.
Any suggestion to convince my wife ?
These devices are not new. Apple has just made it available to the mass market.

As to marriage counseling I do not do that.

However, to quote my dad-If, you understand your wife you are wrong. Even if you are right, it will change before you realize it. You can try yes, dear. But to her you said you agree. Reality, you said stop bothering me with this ...............
