Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted in ages but still drop by often to read. I'm feeling torn about how much social media to allow difficult child to have access to and how much privacy to allow. Up until about a couple of weeks ago, I had all her passwords and was able see everything that was being said and posted. She has recently shut down some accounts and set up new ones to which I don't have the passwords. I have seen a thing or two in the last week that I don't like. For example, there was a picture of her lying on a bed, quite a bit of cleavage showing, in which she was clearly trying to be provocative. Today, I see she has posted a picture on Instagram of her and a boy kissing (totally gross!). I have said to her often that whatever she posts may as well be plastered to a billboard and that it should never be considered private! Once it's out there, there's no getting rid of it! I'm not so sure she hears my message clearly though. Do I insist she share all her passwords? She'll be furious and very self righteous....it'll probably be a battle but I think the answer is obvious. I'd be grateful and any and all input. Thanks!
