[QUOTE="slsh, post: 610605, member: 8"] Having been on the board forever, I watched parents of teens deal with this when my difficult child was still little, so I definitely took a cue from the been there done that crowd. This is my house, my responsibility. The second I think any of my kids is unsafe, I reserve the right to search their rooms, read journals, check cell phone/internet postings, etc. On the rare occasions I felt the need, I did it when the kids were not here - no point in adding fuel to the fire, you know? I've never found drugs, did find knives under difficult child's bed one time, and have read some scary journal entries by my daughter, resulting in interventions. I do not snoop unless my mommy radar goes off. I don't think age 18 should suddenly give your daughter a pass. She's still living in your home and you are ultimately responsible for what takes place in your home. She doesn't like it, she can always make other arrangements. [/QUOTE]
