Βyakuya Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 So apparently Izaya led me to the creation of this thread due to some family issues I've had. My mom so far has been invading by private things, such as snooping in my room or looking at data in my computer or iPod. As a result, she keeps saying that she is my mother and she has the right to overrule what I say, even if I do ask for privacy, freedom, or rights. And it's not only that, it has brought up many issues in parenting stories, such as restrictions, punishment, abuse, and other things. So let's say you are a parent of a child or two. Depending on the age, how would you provide a sort of "justice system" or "rulings system" for your children? Also, is it right to limit their children's freedom based on the statehood of parents, or that parents can do or say what they want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I would try to trust my children. If they violated that trust, there would be consequences. I'd try to let my children make their own decisions, but not to the point of letting them do whatever the hell they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Put a password in that computer. Privacy is sacred. Demanding to know everything is something [s]parents[/s] any person just shouldn't do. It's not like all the secrets people have are bad things. Disipline is something you try to build into your kid's mind from an early age. You don't just suddenly start teaching values when the kid is 14+ and I agree with Comrade Tentasparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 After some googling I found that you can password protect your BIOS and get password protected screensavers. I recommend you do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Might you have done something to entice this behavior in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 IMO parents have no right to snoop into anything of their children's unless they either have their child's permission or they genuinely suspect something they should know about it occurring.

Cin Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Very difficult until it comes time to do it yourself, hitting a child never works I partly blaming that (and my thin 'skin') for my depression. You just have to make sure you set boundaries and gives enough carrot and stick. My parents have never ssnooped on my stuff even when I was younger. My room yea, but nothing more personal than that.
