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

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.

You people say that she shouldn't have anything bad on her history, yeah right, think about it. Of course shes gonna curse and stuff. I'm smart enough to delete **** from history, but sites like Failblog and FML would still get me in trouble. I'm 13, and my dad gets mad if I talk to someone he doesn't know, and I have a lot of internet friends. I would get in trouble for that, luckily he doesn't know how to go through history. I'm not an idiot and going to meet these people, but my dad doesn't trust anyone, so I have to hide everything.

Oh, yeah. Parents are stupid for wanting to make sure you're safe when you're at a point in your life where you rarely make good decisions. They're stupid for wanting to spend time with the children they've reared for 15 years. They're stupid for putting all that care and attention into something and wanting to protect it from potential harm. Millions of orphaned children are happy their stupid parents are dead and don't want to spend time with them anymore. ... It's no wonder some animals eat their young. Christ.

If you're 13, why the hell are you looking at ****? I don't care if you're 30, get off of it!

YDI for not respecting your child's privacy. Unless you suspect that they are getting in to trouble, or using your credit card when they're not supposed to, etc., there is NO REASON to go through her Internet history. @startrekker... you say "It's the kids who have parents who actually care that grow up to be successful, be GRATEFUL." I'm twenty-four years old, married, and successful. My parents cared a great deal about me. However, their definition of "caring" didn't include reading my journals or looking through my Internet history. You need to build trust with your child, and you can't have trust if the parent is snooping around in the child's life. If the daughter found out her father was doing this, she would push him away even further. Privacy isn't a privilege you earn when you turn 18 and move out. It's a right that every person has.

You actually think that parents don't remember what it was like to be a teenager? Are you really THAT delusional? Parents DEFINITELY remember what it was like when they were 14,15,16,17,etc. That's WHY they are sometimes over protective and dislike some of the things we do (partying or whatever) because they experienced it and know the dangers (or how much it sucks to have a killer hangover after a night of wild partying). If this is your view on parents, I really hope you don't have children, because if you do, they will end up being crack ******. Or committing suicide since you'll just "give them space" and "leave them alone" that you won't realize their little cries for help.

You mistake "space" and "neglect', also if I believed I raised a good 15 year old girl I'd trust that even if I do start neglecting her that she wouldn't kill herself or become a crack ***** and would never search through her internet history.

I know my reply was a little (well more than a little) extreme, but they had made a similar comment earlier and it annoyed me. I'm trying not to get into a bitch-fest with you, since you have VERY strong opinions, but the main point of my rant was that parents DO remember what it was like to be a teenager, even if their children sometimes think they don't. I hope you at least agree to that. =) PS. I'm 18, and very close to my father/relatively close with my mother, and neither of them check up on my internet, or even enter my room because A: they trust me and B: I actually talk to them unlike a stereotypical teen, so I can see where your arguments come from.

I think it's ridiculous to generalize like that and it annoys the hell out of me. Just like people who assume" mother knows best", regardless of context like pushing a baby out of your vag gives you infinite knowledge. There are probably some parents who completely forget what it's like to be a teen, or a kid. But not all.

@ #114 I think I love you and want your babies! @ #104 Random fact: adults were once teenagers too *gasp* I know it's shocking, but seriously I googled it and it's true! We were all 15 once and we (the evil ones) know exactly what sort of deviant stuff we got up to and as responsible parents we'd like to spare you a little of our pain and humilation. We may be stupid, but we love you and don't want you to **** up your life (well not completely anyway).

How is it wrong? Just asking, because it seems to me "wrong" would be more like searching her ROOM, not her Internet history.

mike1921 0

How is searching her room worse? I'd let anyone search my room if he asked and I knew he wasn't going to steal anything, but if I notice you on my computer going through my internet I'd respond and get you off there faster than I would if you just shoved your finger in my ass.

Wow, that's pretty sad. Your room is your private area, not your computer. There is nothing on the Internet that has anything to do with privacy. Please, tell me what does, because I can't think of it.

My computer is my private area, I don't care who goes in my room as long as they don't take anything. If you were to search through my browser history I highly doubt it'd take less than half an hour to find info on me that is no where near as private as anything in my room. and I don't mean ****, although I don't want my mom knowing my fetishes. I mean my unwatered down and harsh opinions, some personal things that I wouldn't tell my friends, the way I'm really more pessimistic and depressed than I act.

You do realize putting that on the Internet isn't exactly making it a secret, yes? That's not very private at all, and you really shouldn't keep things like that private anyway... I mean, the depressed/pessimistic part, and some of your personal things... I mean, sure, don't tell your friends, but you should at least say something to someone. Keeping shit bottled up isn't helpful. And really, who cares about your opinions being exposed? If you can't express them physically, you might as well not have them at all.... =/ Kids have become to absorbed into the Internet; they're actually hiding themselves in it...

It makes it hard for anyone I know in real life to find it for themselves, so it might as well be secret. I don't think that's a good idea to tell anyone , I'm perfectly content just ranting and telling things to people on the internet. If a debate about any of the topics come up, you'll find out what I truly believe, regardless of whether it's in real life or on the internet, they just won't be as harsh and mathematical.

So you are seriously content with hiding yourself from the world like that? If that is how the OP's daughter is, it is no wonder that her father would want to check her browsing history: she's a slave to her computer! How else is he going to find out who his daughter is?

0 0
mike1921 0

Yes, I'm content not letting the world know who I really am, and only showing them glimpses if the right things happen. I'm no slave. How would the dad know that his daughter really isn't the same inside? And I don't think any good could come from somebody finding out that you look at most things through a glaze of pessimism. I'm not some ultra-depressed emo teenager who doesn't get any joy from anything so my life doesn't suck, although I could make a better argument that it does than 99% of those little ***** can -_- .

What makes you think shopping at the mall or going to a movie isn't what he had in mind? Hell, that's what I did with my father when we enjoyed a day together... What were you expecting him to like... take her to work or something? lol

pltcllyincorrect 0

Exactly! When I heard father daughter day I assumed he meant the mall or something she would like. I mean, I guess if he's planning on taking her to the kiddie carnival or something, then yeah, RUNNNN! Or better yet, try suggesting something you want to do rather then be a bitch about it.

What? You're not content with letting the world know who you are? But you ARE... the Internet isn't private. Sure, you may be thinly veiled now, but... And what's the point in "being" who you are if you aren't physically doing it? That's not being who you are at all... that's hiding... you might as well not. If his daughter is the same, he still doesn't know her because she is hiding... I am a pessimistic person myself, but really... don't hide.

Tell me, how exactly would my friends find out that this FML account is mine? I wouldn't mind copying all my **** and throwing it out in the open somewhere away from my house , because short of someone doing a fingerprint analysis no one will know who's it is. THe point in being who I am is that , I still have control, still do what I think is best when I have enough of a problem with something that's happening. Trying to keep myself hidden doesn't mean I won't blow my cover , GreyWolf . He wouldn't know she's hiding though.

Wow...I started an internet argument. About privacy rights. I agree with mike1921 on just about everything hes said.

Why were you going through her internet history in the first place? It's no wonder she doesn't want to spend time with you. You give her no privacy. You need to relax and let your kid grow up.
