well, i'll wind up paying for college, anyway. my parents let me run wild and turned out okay. jack: all kinds of crazy furry porn were great for me. ^.^
That's super lovely, but at no point did you mention having to intervene their privacy; am I right? I go under my parents noses sometimes; what harm can it do? I still get high grades and have a good life; at home, in and out of school with lots of groups of ppl... Edit: Yep, thought so Aus ;-) Lol ^.~
if it weren't for furry porn, i'd have never met my awesome girfriend. +1 to being smart under parents' noses.
i have a irish wife if you would of brought porno in the home ye would not set down for a while. i new what my children did,my job was to guide them,as i never had to worry about there privacy.as they gave me no any reason to dwell in there privacy.. today the children says the world owns them a living..
It's a good thing my parents barely know anything about computers! They only know what i explain to them. Most of the time i just sneak gaming time. . I started playing WoW and now i play it most of the time. (along with my PS3). I still get all A's so it doesn't seem to affect me very much. Has anyone Noticed that the person that started the thread hasn't said a word?
Wow, you're daughter tried to go to a porn site? That's really odd. Anyway, under our house, as long as I, and my other siblings, do good in our school then everything is alright. Good thing that I actually earned my parents respect.(Its not that easy though ) Plus, me and my siblings we're raised in a very discipline way and although at first, I didn't like it, I was actually very happy to have such parents! I learned that not having respect towards your parents is really not gonna help you a lot when you grow up. So again, if you are afraid that your kids might do some malicious stuff over the web, think again. Ask yourself if I, as a parent, raised them properly. And if you felt that you raised them properly, then good! So then you don't have to worry about them doing such things. But then again, it is not avoidable at certain times. I think its the stage of youth that temps them to go to porn sites (I also go to porn sites you know. But I know how to limit and control myself )
emm... aus met weaz through porn... mmm(?) i'm getting slightly aroused... and ireland says that he has no reason to invade his kids' privacy because "they do as he says"... but how does hw know this if he doesn't invade his kids' privacy?
I have read all of your replies from those who have supported me and those who have not. I can tell who has children and who are the children. I do trust my children, but I am the parent and CHILDREN do not always make the right decisions (re: doing things under parents noses) and can be easily influenced by an adult on the other end of an internet connection. I am only trying to protect my children. Taking away their computer is not the answer, but just as driving a car, if you don't navigate responsibly you'll crash. My children live under my roof, they do not have privacy like adults, they are not 18. When they move out and pay their own way, then they have purchased privacy. I am being a responsible parent, it's not my children that concern me its the people on the other end that do.
Oh and by the way ESCALANTE, I haven't posted a reply because I've been busy spending time with my children. And besides isn't the point of asking a question in a forum to get many different answers and opinions?
How old are your children? I'm 15 but am by no means "easily influenced" (in a bad manner, that is) by adults on the other end of a net connection... If you're so concerned about who's on the other end, then don't let them on the internet, period. Simple as, IMO. And buying privacy? [sarcasm] Lol, sounds like a plan to me! [/sarcasm]
You're 15? I have a good couple of questions? Why aren't you in school right now? And #2, if you're 15 with no children, you can have no understanding of what parents worry about regarding there children? If I took away everything because I worried that my children would be hurt they would never do anything, same with your parents. The only thing we can do is watch over and protect as much as we can.
thats weird... theres me thinking that privacy was one of those UN constitutional rights!? and it wasn;t 3.30... its only 2.40 right now... (hehehe... im not in school cos i cant be fuked going... but i am doing work for graphics... and eating cookies.) but since ripper is 15 he'll be going to secondary... meaning that he wont get out till about 3.30 (my school is 3.35) so... bad boy, ripper - not going to school!
Privacy is a constitutional right and when my children leave my world and fall under the US constitution they can have that right. I was a teenager once upon a time and did A LOT of things that my parents told me not to. Hind sight being 20/20 I believe that my parents gave me too much privacy. If looking out for my children is wrong so be it. I am not going to let my child me the next victim of a child predator ending up on the 10 o'clock news. If my child is getting an IM from a friend who's talking about drinking or drugs, YEAH, I want to know. When my children were little I didn't turn my back on them while they were playing on the playground and I'm not going to now. A lot of tragic events involving teenagers MAY have (with a lot of emphasis on the word MAY) been prevented if parents had been less worried about their children's privacy or maybe more concerned with their children's lives. Sometimes it just takes asking questions, but do you tell your parents EVERYTHING?
we never gave our children a reason to rebel there was love and understanding for our children since the first child born to us.. we loved our children,and the love was returned..meaning we all builded trust between us and our children. i agree with goddes1,as i can see ye loves his children very much.. today some parents do not gave a dam about there children..i see that here and everwhere every day. you should see mother and father day at my house it looks like a block party.my oldess son is near 40 and has 5 children of his own. i feel i raised him right as it reflects in our grand-children..
