Parents: Have you snooped on your kids? Kids: Have you caught your parents snooping?

I think if snooping is done the person who you're snooping should be made aware that he/she doesn't have privacy and you will be monitoring them, that way they also will think twice.
 
:salamext:

My parents never used to snoop when I was little, but I wish they did now. It's good to snoop - that shows you have nothing to hide from your parents and you shouldn't have anything to hide either.

Insha'Allah when I have my children, I will make them feel as they won't have to hide anything from me and they can talk to me about anything, so they won't feel like they will have to snoop around.
 
I dont have a child yet and I was away from parents at very young age. soo cant answer

This can apply to my husband, I used to check his emails and mobiles then I got tired, alhamdollellah there was nothing to worry, as a woman, sometimes we worry about nonsense and he understands that.

On his part, mashallah he never checked my phone or ask for my passwords,, so yayy! IM FREE lol
Actually that is TRUST .. indeeed:p

Snooping is different than monitoring, bro.

I snoop, but not monitor.

When I was kid and when I was teenager, my parents were never snooping my internet stuff. That's because I never use internet in that time. Even I got my first computer few months after my 20th birthday, in early of 1988.
 
Would you snoop on your kids? Yes or no. Don't say "if I have suspicions..."

^ i'm obviously not a mother yet but i know i would... you can never be too sure so it's better to be safe than sorry. i, myself, know that my mum checks up on me. i don't know how often anymore, but the fact she does that has actually changed me, i think. i know not to mess around because i know i can't hide lol. not saying i'd mess around anyway!
 
when I was a kid my mum likes to snoop my diary. ARRGHH!! worse is when I was 14 and suffered from schizophrenia, my dad caught my schizophrenic, illegible diary, and scrutinized me for that :raging:

Now I've never been snooped again because I password-protect all my diary files, and I used my own alphabet code to write my diary for something really personal ;D
 
i read it as spoonign lol as in spoon feedign LOL

Snooping is like spying.

My mum cant use a computer so she cant snoop lol. My dad has not snooped really but I think he does just check what we are doing sometimes.
 
It really says something about your confidence and trust in your children if you snoop on them and how you've raised them. Even if they have something to hide, it's best to let them make decisions for themselves. Privacy is something I value very highly and when someone infringes on it, it feels very violating. I didn't have parents to snoop on me, but I would have snooped on them in return. I bet they'd have not liked that.

Treat others the way you want to be treated. Even if it's your children, that's the rule that should always be followed, not just preached.

[Edit: Two different questions in one poll? Doesn't that invalidate the answers collectively? Haha.]

Sorry I dont agree. Children are usually too young to know whats exactly right and wrong, especially in these times where everything is available online. For example, a lot of music videos these days are far too inappropriate for kids but because they are popular and everyones watching them, kids will think that its ok for them too.

Even films nowadays are rated too low IMO. Twilight for instance, I wouldnt let my teenage daughter watch that let alone one thats under 12.

I understand your point about privacy, but I really think children need to be guided up to a certain age at least.

To a reasonable point, but at least the parent should be open about it and not snoop. They should be open about all their concerns. Having overly protective parents is one thing, but having parents that sneak around and spy on the children is another thing that loses my respect. I also wouldn't prevent my children from going through their teenage years without any mistakes. They wouldn't learn anything otherwise. I would focus on teaching them to have good judgment and decide everything for themselves. You can't force [honestly] good behaviour.

If they constantly feel like they are being watched and will be punished for every little choice they make, it will only cause them to behave badly because it belittles them and they feel like there's no respect given to them. They don't feel the need to reflect it.

Never snooped (don't have kids, and am unmarried yet - waaay overdue I tell ya)

My parents never snooped, spied etc - I was very fortunate not to feel that awkwardness as a child.

Same thing happened to me!!!! She made an FB after I made mines even though 1. she is hopeless when it comes to electronics. It takes her an hour to figure out how to sign on her email and then another hour to type in all the info and 2. I have nothing to hide either lol. But at one point she grew annoyed esp of the some of the pics my friends had up and was like "thats it. just cancel it all". and she still kept hers!


Hmm well my dad doesn't really snoop, he doesn't really care lol. As long as we're quiet and don't cause problems. My mom is the insane snooper, esp when I was 14 and 15. But now she's loosening up. I know it's an act of love and I appreciate it lol but there's got to be some limits and trust.

And imho there's more pressure on girls than boys. For example, my bro and I live completely diff lives.
