[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 118191, member: 84"] My kids know that as long as they live under my roof they have no "Right to Privacy". My house, my rules. Don't like it, go whine somewhere where I can't hear you. And yes, this rule still stands although mine are now over 18. However under 18, they knew I went thru their stuff as I saw fit. This doesn't mean it was a daily thing, but if I felt it was necessary it was gonna happen. Your job is to be your child's Parent, not her friend. That comes later. (and trust me, it will) Your #1 priority is to keep your child safe. If that means policing her things and activities, so be it. You're not God or a mind reader. (unless you're keeping something from us. lol) She'll get over it. Life will go on. But you'll hate yourself if suddenly nude pics of easy child start floating around everywhere, or godforbid something worse happens later down the road because easy child was never talked to for fear of hurting her feelings or violating her "privacy". How would you feel if she was 6 and you found this on her phone? My point is, she's STILL a child, even if she doesn't want to believe it. Hugs [/QUOTE]
