Today, I went through my 15 year old daughter's internet history. On google she searched 'Excuses to get away from your dad' and 5 other variations of the same thing. We were supposed to be having a father daughter day tomorrow. FML
I agree, your life sucks 53 860

YDI for snooping. Give her some space -- she's growing up. ...On the other hand, though, FYL because of what you found.

More like FHL for having you snoop through her history. I bet you've got plenty of stuff you wouldn't want her to see.

Awwe.... Try not to take it personally... She's just a teen... Either way she'll always remember and be greatful for those special days.

Actually, I can think of several possibilites: 1. She is his daughter, and is an underaged teen. 2. She has done or said something that aroused suspicion. 3. He is under the impression she might have sent inappropriate images about (maybe someone tipped him?) 4. She rarely talks to him and is always at the computer, so he thinks he can get to know her by finding what sites she's interested in. 5. It's his computer, not hers. 6. There may be a virus on the computer and he is tracking down the place it came from. 7. He needs to know something in particular that relates to a site she went to, but can't remember what it was. 8. Something apparently nobody has considered yet: she gave him permission to try and find something in her history, and he happened upon the autofill entry. But I can't think of a single reason why it would be "sick." What's so "sick" about it? It's not like he's looking up her nuddie pictures....

1: Saying that is like saying, in response to "I don't see why anyone would ever search my house" that Search warrants exist. Yes, we all know if he has a good reason he should check his history, but just because you can doesn't mean it's a good idea 2: Like? And if she did I'd think this FML would be a relief 3: Possible, but I doubt it, and while it's not really a good thing I don't give a **** because it doesn't hurt her. Also, if she put it somewhere public like Facebook or myspace the FBI would be knocking on your door. Unless by innapropriate you don't mean of her in which case who cares. 4: I guess I have to concede 5: See 1 6: O_O why and how would you do that? 7: Awfully vague 8: In which case he had a suspicion, and the fact that all he found was what he did is a relief

you need a life. may i remind you that YOU DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE

Shut up, if you think we need a life keep it to yourself and don't annoy us all by telling us.

You'll understand one day? You don't think we're old enough for you to defend yourself with a real arguement? You assume the OP knows what she should and shouldn't do. We have no idea what she'd get in trouble for. Besides, most teenagers have secrets, even if they're not things that you'd get in trouble for.

one more possibility: she knows he's checking her web history and went to that site just to mess with him

curry, she didn't go to a site, reread the FML. She typed up "how to ditch dad" in five-six different ways on a search bar, then went to sites from there. As for mike, my dad used to go through my history trying to find places to blame for viruses. I was just listing possible reasons for looking, I didn't say they were all completely justfiable or rational. Dads aren't normally rational about their daughters.

saying that is not like talking about searching a house you dumbass. i dont hide weed stashes on my computer

All these kids whining make me harr. My parents looked through my internet history because i am stupid and i would buy random crap from credit card fraud websites. But, i'm an idiot and forgot to clear everything out before i got of the computer, so they found out i had lost them $40,000 in what i thought was a good deal for a brand new Helicopter. Anyway, the whole action of hiding things and looking for things is not what the teenage-parent relationship is about i dont know where i get this information i must be some sort of psychiatrist. I got caught all the time because my parents checked my eyes and bag. because i'm an idiot. I might have become a weed smoker because i was bored and i was a total dumbass and decided to smoke some weed because everybody else that did it looked cool and i though i would look cool if i did it to. But i didn't because my parents f**king rock and did a horrible job of raising me to be a pothead. They found my stash.

So........Just because you're a ******* thief (Unless they were in the market for a helicopter and asked you to buy, you should always consult someone before a major purchase and are just as good as a thief ), we should all have our history checked? This wasn't even reasonably doing something with your parents' credit card they didn't give you permission to do. A reasonable thing is buying something from a quickcheck or whatever when you're starving. You ever hear of reasonable search and seizure? Yea your daughter having a history of buying stuff online (with your money) warrants a search.........and constant daily beatings if you ask me.

yeah but this fml is not under any of those circumstances so you have nothing to say to me. I didnt see anywhere in this fml that she was posting nude pics on facebook

oh wait nevermind i thought you were against me mike

"saying that is not like talking about searching a house you dumbass. i dont hide weed stashes on my computer"Ummm.....ok.....You could hide different illegal things on your computer so the potential for illegal things is there. And you could find out more than is reasonable about me if you have access to every site I go to so the privacy is there.

#309 I know...or atleast think that this fml doesn't fall under any of those circumstances. We can't be sure, sadly .

#309, she went to a site, or in a search bar..whatever, it still could have been on purpose

For all these little kids bitching at a dad for looking through his own daughter's Internet history what would you tell an employer when they look through your Internet history if you happen to get a real job? Yes that happens some times at adult jobs, children, just to make sure people are doing what they are supposed to be doing. No probable cause or search warrent needed for them to do so either because it's their property, their time, and you are their employee. So I guess if you all don't like your privacy invaded and you need your freedom do us all a favor and run away from home. There's tons of freedom and privacy in bridges and tunnels no Internet however. Kiddies, get the **** over yourselves. You're still minors being supported by your parents they are supposed to know and have the freedom to know what an underaged child is doing online. If he had came across "How to do an abortion with a coat hanger and a lighter" should he let it slide? Trust me there are worst injustices in the world than a dad looking through an Internet history on a computer in a house that he paid for.

FYL for the whole daughter wanting to be away from you thing, but YDI for going through someone's personal Internet history. Face it, you're breaching the laws of privacy and you're just breaking your daughter's trust. A teenager has secrets, plain and simple. Sure, she may make bad decisions, but you're not supposed to be there to stop her from making them. You're supposed to be there to help her learn from them. (:

I hate it when people say 'minor'. What makes you think a person under 18 is actually lesser of a person, and can't you repect anything about them? Anyway, it's YOUR Internet and YOUR house. So it's YOUR rules. But it's not like they can go start up their own house with their rules, because they are a MINOR. And if someone replies to this hatefully, about bitching and whining, good for you! I'm just glad you read it.

I think it shows a lot about the father that he planned a father-daughter day. That's a wonderful gesture that really shows you care. If you were to give your daughter some space (stop going through her internet history could be the first step), I'm sure she's gonna come around and start appreciating you wanting to spend some time with her. Just remember, you can't force it - stuff like that takes time.

...Angry teen:"you go thru daughter's internz...u is badder than hitler..cause u is a nosey nazi...and I hate adults cuz they uncool unless they is a celeb...like omgwtf." Seriously, if you think this man deserves it, you need to grow up. This man probably works hard to earn money so his family could use the internet. Yet, you people say he doesn't have the right to check his daughter's internet history because it could be HER own computer...even though her dad bought it for her? PFFFT...then I say his daughter doesn't have the right to use HIS internet, because it's his own money he used to buy the internet. He is/was trying to be a good father, being nosey is something all parents do, and it has been that way since...ever. I applaud you for caring what your daughter gets herself into, some parents don't care what there kids do these days. Oh and yeah...I understand teenagers not wanting to hang out with their parents..it's a sign of growing up..don't worry she'll come back crawling one day XD

Wow #150, apparently you can't read either. As stated, I DO know what it's like to have a father who works 24/7. But I appreciate it because he just paid off the mortgage to our house in less than twenty years. And he's paid off his car payments as well as the fact that he helps me pay for college. He works a lot in order to help his kids achieve their dreams and in order to retire with money left over to relax and go on vacations. So don't call us dicks, smartass. The girl was complaining her father worked a lot. Well, in this day and age it's proven that people who still have jobs are working more.

What 15-year-old doesn't complain about spending time with their parents? She's 15. Sounds pretty normal. Suck it up and get over it. Hell, I hated spending time with my parents when I was 15, because at that age, having parents is embarrassing in and of itself. If you aren't a terrible parent, kids generally get over that as they grow up. But YDI for snooping in her internet history if you don't have any reason to not trust her.

YDI for not giving your daughter privacy. she's a teenager, what do you expect?

That sucks, but she sounds like a normal 15 year old. Also, she's old enough to deserve privacy. Quit snooping.
