Because if the kid don't know about it, that's where you cross the line from monitoring your kid's activities to spying on your kid...

it's no different than following your kid around in an unmarked minivan when the kid ain't at home.

I have the right to spy on my kids... They have no rights! They live rent free and get to eat free too. For that priviledge I am allowed... no I am required, to butt into anything I feel needs knowing....... PERIOD.

Kinda how I WISH my parents had been Midnight...

Wulfe, what Midnight said..however I would draw the line at tapping a phone ...

I bet the Columbine parents wish they'd been alittle more intrusive with the two boys that shot up that school!

Certainly... intrude all you want. I agree with swulfe that the difference between telling them or not telling them that they are being monitored is significant.

Just in case...

if I had too, if reasonable cause existed, wish my parents had done me btwn 16 & 18, may have avoided a few mistakes ...

luckily youngest is 17 in a month, 23 year old out on his own, doing well. haven't had a reason to ... yet

age has nothing to do with it
If the 23 year old lived at home and say he was dealing out of my house - who do you think the police would turn to as soon as they carted him away? Do you think given that scenerio I wouldn't have just cause to tap phone, bug room, read email, u name it it ..?

Eagler, you said "if I had too"

and I said...
"Just in case..."

If you had too, you'd know something was up and at that point it's on you to find out.

But doing it before anything happens... I dunno... many kids will be out the door at 16/17/18 and never look back.

Funny, I was "out the door" at 17 because LACK of intrusion!

I had a friend who's dad was overly intrusive... keeping tabs on damn near everything and searching his room...

lets just say that "failure" only scratches the surface of explaining where he's at right now.

OK, they have the right to continue breathing and eating and living in a warm house. They may earn extra privilege by proving to ME that they can handle it. But rights? Comon!

I stand corrected...

Well, I think kids these days are to pampered too.

When I was a kid, our dad let us drink a little bit of beer from a very young age with meals.

When it came to my adolescent years, my friends all 'discovered' booze. While I was going "ahhh so what? its just beer", they were getting mindlessly drunk and all the other crap that goes with it. I watched my friends vomit face down in the gutter while I enjoyed myself.

Show em a little porn, tell em the dangers. So when some perv tries to chat them up they can say 'diddly off creamo'.

I'd tell the kids if I put monitoring software on the pc. hell I've been telling them it's there for years and I'm too cheap to buy it.
