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

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

You are the parent. Your child did wrong. Own up to the fact you lied. Let him know he did wrong too. Make this all a teaching moment. Both parties need to take ownership and move forward. And let them know that as a result you will be monitoring things more, as again, YOU ARE THE PARENT!

Actually as his parent you are free do as you please. You are the adult and not calling him out for bad language etc is allowing him to behave however he wants because your worried about looking like a "bastard" and we wonder why there are so,many assh@le kids in the world

1. OP's son might also be an adult. 2. Just because someone swears doesn't mean they're an asshole 3. OP's not worried about looking like a bastard. More worried about looking like a liar. Just saying...

Most asshole kids come from the type of parents you so idolize, actually.

Sorry OP but you totally deserved it. I hope you weren't looking for sympathy :/

I love how everyone is saying that OP deserves it when he is a parent, and unless the son moves out then the parent is entitled to snoop.

Apparently, parents are now immune to criticism.

Like a lot of people on here I sayYDI. Unlike a lot of people on here it's not because you're "a snooping parent", but because you need to be a parent. That means, yes I looked at your browser history, I'm your PARENT!!! It's not my job to be your "buddy". My kids (3) didn't like a lot of the things I did, but they grew up knowing I cared about what they were doing and who they were growing up to be. And guess what? They're not perfect, but they're also not serial killers, drug addicts, my daughters pictures aren't public info across the web. They're all strong, capable adults with jobs, houses, families, homes and no criminal records. They also today come to me thankful that I'm part of their lives and trust me with my grandkids because they know I'm not a wimpy azz person.
