What...Should I tell my mom?

Okay, so the other day I was in my room and I heard my parents arguing…I walked into the kitchen to where they were yelling, and my dad said to my mom, “I’ve never looked at any porn on the internet! I’m not some damn pervert!” and my mom said “If I ever find out that you are the computer leaves this house. (we have been somehow getting these emails on the other computer of these girls sending nasty pictures.) I didn’t think much of it bc my dad doesnt seem like the type… But the other day I was walking to the bathroom to go take a shower and I happened to look in the computer room to find my dad looking at naked women. I yelled, “What are you doingg!?” and he jumped, X’d 1 of the programs out, but there was still another window on there. He didnt know it. My dad said, “Looking at dogs.” (He is a coon hunter.) I said, “yeah right I saw that.” and he said “ohh. I was just checking the emails, nothing bad.” I said “noo you werent! You were looking at a porn site.” (I check the browsing history) And he said, “yeah, but dont say anything to our mom, I dont wanna make her feel bad.”

I know I should tell my mom about it… because its disgusting to find your dad looking lil 20 year old girls on the computer. (hes 46) But I dont want to make her feel bad like my dad said. I want to keep my family together. but I really want my mom to know. What do you think I should do?? My dad keeps giving me these funny looks and saying its our secrete, don’t say anything… But I’m sick of him but yet he does everything for me and is my father. Please give me some advice!! Is it really that bad to look at porn?? I think it is…

Answer #1

obviously you need to tell SOMEONE, talk to your dad ATLEAST and then maybe he’ll understand how you feel, you can tell your best friend to :)

Answer #2

Honestly I don’t see the real big deal. I mean guys will be guys. Lots of people look at porn. It’s not like he’s going off cheating on your mom. If it bothers you that much you can always talk to your dad and tell him how uncomfortable you are about it but other than that I’d suggest not to let it bother you

Answer #3

Thank you guys for all the people that responded with helpful answers. :) QUESTION01 Not everyone looks a porn. I find it disgusting. I dont spy on my dad genius… I said that I happen to look in when I walked by. and no me and my momma are not strict… I think its cyber rape with an old man is looking at lil girls naked.


I talked to my dad and all he said was… I dont see why it bothers you so much. im not going to tell my friends bc they would probably b freaked out to come here anymore.


But thanks guys! :)

I don’t see what the big problem is other than you and your mom being a bit to strict everyone looks at porn especially men and it really isn’t your business if he wants to look at it he is old enough to do what he wants, are you and your family religious because that would be the only reason as to why you would be uncomfortable with this. It’s not like he makes you watch it or something you shouldn’t be spying on him and he should be more careful as to not get caught or signing up for e-mails that everyone can see.

Answer #5

I think you should send a question into one of those little advice column things :D

Answer #6

well,look on the bright side,he’s not cheating on her.(; he’s just fantasizing.don’t all guy’s do that?

Answer #7

tell your mum!it will b 4 the best! gd luck!

Answer #8

I personally don’t see the big deal. Men are sex oriented creatures…it’s just a fact. It’s better that he looks at those pictures instead of cheating on your mom. It’s not cyber rape, you realize those women in those pictures WANT men to look at them, they get good money for doing so. They don’t care how old the men are, just the fact that they are getting paid for it. I think that you should let your dad and your mom work things out on their own.
