Well played

Today, while looking through my son's browser history, I found a Google search for "stop looking in my history u nosey cunt". I swore last week that I don't invade his privacy, so I can't even punish him for the bad language without looking like a lying bastard. FML

Today, my dad saw my cleared internet history and said, "You do know we can still track your history with your IP address, right?" I don’t ever look at porn or anything like that. I just don’t want other people knowing all my business all the time. FML

Today, I overheard my grandpa telling my mom he'd found a load of porn in my laptop's browser history, but that he deleted all the "filth" so she wouldn't have to see it. She believed him and I got grounded, much to his amusement. I've never looked up porn on that computer in my life. FML

Today, I looked through my daughter’s search history. Did I find porn? No, worse. At the age of 17, she has been looking up the definitions of commonly used words such as ‘arbitrary,’ ‘pretentious,’ and ‘initiative.’ FML

Today, while on my Dad's computer, I looked through the browser history to find the name of a website I'd visited on it the other day. I soon found out he watches a staggering amount of downright frightening incest porn. I'm disturbed on so many levels. FML

Today, my parents scoured my browser history, certain that I have a hidden Facebook account that I'm using to get up to no good. Their reasoning was that there's no way my only friends are my relatives and that all I can post about is about the weather. FML

Today, while having a sneak through my brother's browser, I found a bookmark for a Google Docs file. It was a short story involving him horrifically killing our entire family. It ended with the words: "And that is what happens when people don't respect the author's privacy." FML

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

Today, my dad wanted to show me a cool camera he saw on Amazon yesterday, so I let him use my laptop to find it. I realized too late that I'd forgotten to clear my browsing history. The suggested purchases section was filled with dildos and lube. He definitely noticed. FML

Today, I decided to go through my younger brother's browser history. I found out he goes regularly on PornHub. He's only 10. FML

Overly strict and invading parents make for amazing sneaks and great liars.

Dirty rotten lying piece of... Give your kid his privacy! You have ZERO right to do stuff like that. Would you like it if your boss went through your files on your personal computer? No? Don't do it to other people.

Congrats on giving your son trust and privacy issues, scarring your relationship with him, and pretty much ensuring that he'll be less likely to tell you stuff, dick. Not even exaggerating. That's exactly what happened with me and my mother. This kind of parenting disgusts me. If you have no indication that he's in any danger (drugs, cyberbullying, some perv on the internet trying to get with your son, or depression), stay the hell out of his private business.

Bottom line: If I am paying the bill, you play by my rules. More importantly, if you are not old enough to be held legally liable for any stupidity you do, you will put up with whatever restrictions I set. I am not trying to lose my job, house, retirement because I gave you your "privacy" and you abused it. Now I will agree that OP shouldn't have said they wouldn't snoop then snooped. And yeah for those saying if you just trust your kid, they won't do bad, if that is what happened with you that's great. But there is a heck of a lot of people who had no supervision growing up and are screwed up. Trust and privacy have to be earned, and let's be honest, most parents have a general idea what they're kid is like and usually the ones who don't cause trouble and can be trusted are going to have fewer oversight. Course there are always exceptions to the rule.
