insider:

If one's children are willing to share with him/her their blogs, etc, then of course he / she can visit the blog openly and that's not considered 'peeping'. Having known you for sometimes, I don't think you belong to that category of what the thread starter said,

Yep, insider, I definitely not the peeping kind. you're so right about that, but your sentence below in bold is prob the reason why some of us are kinda ruffled.

insider:

Errr...parents who peep into their kids' stuff even though their kids are OK kids probably is a reflection of these parents have a greater sense of insecurity, suspicious in nature, possessive, 看不开，lower confidence level, worry-too-much kind = higher risk of of bringing up kids who are similar to them (meaning likely to also bring up kids who can't build trusting relationships) = vicious cycle.

And I did say I'll TRY not to snoop, but only if one of mine turns rebellious and I've no way of knowing what they're up to, then I'll snoop and search the cyber world for traces of their activities, lest they fall prey to unsavoury characters. Of course, I pray I won't ever have to resort to that. Hence, keeping the comm lines open with the kids are very important.

Oh, and another thing, for some of the forummers without teens, it's easy to give their take as they aren't in it to know what it's like. When you're face with a harsh reality, as in your teen refuses to tell you anything, then would you still stick resolutely to the no-peeping rule and leave your child as he is while you fret silently till it's too late?

I think our urban lives are keeping us too much indoors and forget about the carefree days of kite-flying...


When the raining season is over, I would like to go kite flying with my child again...because parenting is just like the mastery of kite-flying. We cannot pull too tight neither can we let go too much...

Let's hope the rainy days will be over soon.. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php .. or

Hi. I would like to say that sometimes, "peeking" into your child’s diary/blog/facebook IS beneficial. If, for example, the child is having suicidal thoughts but is not showing it to his/her parents, but only writes it in his/her diary, then the parent should check the diary occasionally to ensure the mental/physical well-being of the child.
