Today, while cleaning my son's room, I found an envelope labelled "PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL" under his bed. I opened it, only to find it was a glitter bomb. I couldn't get it all cleaned off myself before he got home. He just said "HAH! Serves you right!" and went to his room smirking. FML

It's really hard to feel sorry for you here when you opened an envelope that wasn't yours. Especially one that said "private and confidential" as a last chance warning. Totally deserved it.

Your son is a genius.

YDI. If your son's anything like me, the fact that you were snooping without just cause (like, suspecting he's on drugs or suicidal or something) probably ruined his trust in you. Also, did it not occur to you that his just "happening" to have a "PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL" letter under his bed was put in place to tempt you into opening it to see if you'd snoop? That seems a little suspicious to me.

why would anybody label something they didn't want seen private and confidential? YDI for thinking your son was that stupid, he totally mind ****** you

No way you did not deserve that. Privacy is really important to a lot of people. Double YDI because there was a trap in the first place! I doubt there would have been one if you didn't regularly do things like that.

I did stuff like that because I was suspicious, but saw pretty soon that I was wrong. Anyhow, I agree with ya.

Oh, yeah, #9, I'm SUCH an ungrateful little bitch for feeling that my trust in my mother is irreparably damaged because she invaded my sacred privacy* for no reason and now acts like it never happened, like I'm stupid enough to forget that. What a terrible little daughter am I. *I'm very introverted and have a lot of things I keep to myself not because they're "bad" (au contraire, actually; they're either harmless or actually good and impressive) but because I like having things only I know about or things I decide who knows about. Seriously, get off your high horse! I pity your kids!

I know exactly how you feel. I'm extremely introverted. I really need my space so I have somewhere to decompress. Knowing that people have been through my stuff creates a lot of anxiety. I was like that as a kid too, but kids don't know how to express that they're introverts. It's really hard.

I got the point. I worded my comment incorrectly. Sorry if it was offensive to anyone.

#32 I am the same as you. I'd rather control the distribution of my personal information, not have whoever know... I let my parents know almost anything if asked, but they respected me and trusted me. #9/#39 That wasn't bad wording. That was sheer stupidity. Don't try and cover that up. You made a statement that was a bold affront to ALL people everywhere who thinks a basic sense of privacy is required to trust people. Don't be upset you're being called out on it. Own up to it and apologize to each person who calls you out on it saying the truth: you weren't thinking.

That really, really does serve you right. I'm delighted. You should see the grin on my face.

"While I was cleaning my sons room" why can't my parents do that tf

Cleaning is a euphemism. A parent cleaning is just an excuse to snoop in many cases. You can usually figure out which cases.
