Is it okay for my parents to snoop?

I have one computer in my house but there are users… Sometimes my dad will go onmine and go on my facebook (if I left it on) and read my inbox… and stuff… and he sometimes goes on my hotmail… (again I hvae a saved password) I know you may say the sollution is to not save my passsword on the site.. but I tihnk its unfair that I cant do so for my convenience without worrying about him snooping (I’ve caught him 3 times already… and he says “I have the right” but I think that going onto programs signed in MY account should be illegal or WRONG… I have no problem asking me what facebook is or to explain what im doing on the computer or whatever but this is too far.

Parent being a Parent - looking after your best interests because they Love you and want to protect you from the many negative influences out there - be thankful, many, many, Parents out there don’t care - you’re blessed…Take care !!

Answer #2

I think its really unfair, i think my dad reads my message history on MSN and i think he knows that im bisexual, he also checks my history, so on bebo ive joined LGBT groups ( lesbians/gays/bis etc ) i think he knows, i hate him for this

They shouldnt have permission to look at what i do

Answer #3

I don’t even have to worry about this kind of thing. I don’t even have to hide my pronography because my parents actually ask me to borrow it. The first time that they found it I had it hidden, but then they asked me to borrow it. I just laughed, then I realized that I wasn’t gonna get into trouble because they were serious.

Its my feeling you have ta expext parents to snoop. They want to know your allright and they know you won’t tell them everything. Especially if you leave your space open. Suggestion: don’t do anything to be ashamed of. You will live a happier life if you don’t have to hide things from anyone.. friends, parents, bf.. anyone

Answer #8

I think we all know how overprotective parents can be, sometimes to the extent of suffocation, but you know wat? It’s for our own good. They want to make sure we’re alright, that we’re not involved in anything wrong, no matter how much they trust us, it’s their duty as parents to guard us against harm and danger. Well, when u say u’re dad’s gone too far, do u rly mean it? I mean, calm down, give the guy a break! He’s only here to protect u, and that only shows how much he loves u. I’m not saying it is his write to snoop around and read ur inbox, coz it isnt alright and u know wat? U should stand up to him. U should both sit down and have a proper dad to daughter talk and talk this through. However, u should be down right honest with your dad, and express ur concern about him reading ur email. Tell him that he has to respect ur privacy and that he has to trust u enough, but bear in mind that his love for u drives him to do watever he’s doing, although it cannot be justified. Still, u need to talk to him, CALMLY AND OPEN MINDEDLY. Hear him out! Glad i could help!
