    Many of us have grown up with the Internet, and we’re commonly referred to as “Millennials”.

    While we had to deal with dial-up for an extended period of our lives, kids today are basically connected to the Internet the minute they are born, making an appearance on either one – or both – of their parent’s social media accounts straight out of the womb.

    So it should be no surprise then that the amount of parent-focused apps out there is growing- some tracking children, others creating family calendars, and one even predicting your child’s bowel movements.

    For real.

    As millennials become “parennials” (millennial parents – yeah, they went there), here are three apps they are obsessed with via Business Insider:

    Life360 lets you keep tabs on your kid’s location:

    Life360 answers an age-old question: “Where are you?” The app enables parents to track their children’s whereabouts using GPS, and lets them save their favorite locations so that family members get automatic alerts when someone comes or goes. A chat feature allows family members to let the group know when they’re running late.

    Peanut is an app for “mothers who missed out on Tinder”:

    Peanut, a match-making app for moms, lets users log in with their Facebook accounts and connect with like-minded mothers nearby — for coffee, a vent session, or a playdate. The free app uses an algorithm to match moms with shared interests and parenting experiences.

    Michelle Kennedy, the founder and CEO, worked previously at dating apps Bumble and Badoo. She created Peanut when she was a new mother.

    OurPact gives parents the power to manage their family’s screen time:

    OurPact unlocks a parental superpower: the ability to block the internet, social media, texting, apps, or all of the above on their children’s phones. Parents can schedule screen time around school, dinner, and chores, and even reward their kids with extra time when they deserve it.

    OurPact’s family locator tool lets parents quickly find family members by tracking their device locations.

    After a free trial, users pay up to $6.99 a month for various features.

    Business Insider listed a few more – here – but personally, I am not into having a family calendar or knowing what time to feed my child.

    Or maybe it’s because I am not a parent, and if my mom could do it without an app then so can I.
