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

Completely deserved it. Let him have his privacy. He's growing up. YDI.

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

I'm looking at it as he must be at an appropriate age for them to say they won't snoop, however I felt they deserved it because they said they wouldn't snoop and they did it anyways. Privacy is a part of growing up.

I don't understand these FMLs. "Guise I've been a douche and now something shit happened because of it". What were you expecting?

The problem isn't that you're checking his browser history, as you do have that right. The problem is that you lied about it and swore that you wouldn't. If you're going to be strict, at least have the balls to lay down guidelines. All you've taught him is that he can't count on you to keep promises and can't trust you to trust him.

Oh boo hoo. You invaded your sons privacy. You deserved that big time. There is nothing worse than promising your kids then going back on your promise.

Kids are gonna look at whatever they want whether it's at your house or not. At least if the child thinks they can trust you they might confide in you more and not feel the need to hide thing. Plus kids will always be better at disposing of their history so I doubt you will do much more than push them further away

this is exactly what is wrong with kids these days. they do not deserve privacy while living under your roof. unless they are over 18, it is your complete business on what they are doing.

And your exactly whats wrong with parents these days. EVERYONE deserves and is entitled to some privacy. Your job isnt to control every aspect of your childs lives until they are 18. Your job is to support them and help them grow. Part of growing up is learning. And one of the best ways to learn is to experience things on your own including masturbating and looking at things your not supposed to.

Children are not your property. They deserve their own space and privacy. If you refuse that you are abusive.

No, what is wrong with parents these days is not being involved in your child's lives. Yet people are wondering why kids are disrespectful to their parents and elders. growing up my parents looked at computer history, phone if I started getting out of line and let me tell you this, if they hadn't I would of made horrible choices. What's abusive is not being involved. You see this among girls that go online an start talking to "boys" and they go willingly into the car with the boy they haven't met face to face with after a couple days to weeks of emails, texts, and messages which turns out to be a grown man trying to abduct the girl. So if me checking my daughter's history and phone is abusive then so be it at least she won't be raped or worse found in a field raped and murdered. Being the parent that doesn't check those things majority of the time have the kids that wind up in those horrible situations. Being naive is a hell of a lot worse then being concerned and "snooping"

How old is the kid? This can change a lot of this with just an age. If the kid is 16 that is way deferent then a 12 year old. And second off if you buy someone something and give it to them then no it is no longer yours. You can "barrow" it and "look for that site you were just on" but you should not snoop in a persons computer. That's like saying that you need hangers then go into the dresser. There are loophole to everything of course. But if the computer is your and you did not give it to them then by all means look at the history
