As a parent

I always thought it was important to give my kids their privacy as they got older. When we were teenagers my Mom used to go through all of our stuff and read our notes from friends and stuff like that. She also used to read my little sister's diary, like what the hell.

I can remember when my daughter was a teenager and she`d be on the phone in the basement my wife would lay on the floor and put her ear over the register and listen to her conversations. I`d be so pissed off when she did that.

@Degbeme ugh, with my kids, if something serious is going on with one, the other ones will tell me

@MyNameIsHurl My daughter is an only child.

@Degbeme I mean, I'm definitely not a perfect parent by any means, but that's just one of those respect things. I feel like I've raised them well enough to trust them

@MyNameIsHurl I`d never judge your parenting skills. You`ve done very well on your own. Much respect. 🤗
