Would you read your child's diary? (page 2)

dazed but not confused

I would not.

My teenage daughter asked me this. I answered her honestly. If I had any concern that she might be getting in to trouble, like drugs, I would.

She hid it better after that.

NO.

My mother read mine, then teased me about some of the things I said. I felt raped.

By all means keep tabs on your kids friends, emails, phone, and have a look around their rooms for signs of things going amiss.

Once you disrespect an intimate boundary you will never get that trust back.

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOT! They fully deserve some privacy and freedom of expression.

What Tammy said

wasblind

I kindly disagee Wit' EVERYBODY !!!!!

In my house, I'm GOD. This is MY world that child lives in

it is MY trust that child should earn

As far as Provin' my trust to the child. Already been done

I was the one that carried that life in my body wit' the greatest of care

If that don't prove trust worthy , nothin' will

Yes, I have spied on my child, though I didn't let her know

when I didn't find nothin', I would let her know

how thankful I was that she was mine. and that out of

all the babies in the nursery, she was the one I got to bring home

She didn't know why I said these things, but what provoked me to say

them was the fact I didn't find nothin'

Yes I would lie and tell her I trusted her, I tell my ol' man the same thing

Along wit' encouragment, she wanted me to trust her more

Should your child read your journal?

Absolutely not! It's an invasion of their privacy. Like invading their private thoughts. All the things we hate for ourselves. The 'thought police' comes to mind!

If you want to know what's in their minds/hearts then have a good relationship with them where they come to you and tell you what they are thinking /doing.

No. Never.
