Phone checks by parents?

At what age did your parents stop checking your phone to see what you have been up to? Or what age did you stop checking your children's phone at? My parents still keep an eye on mine at 19 years old.
they have NEVER checked my phone.

love u mom and dad lol

@Dewms lol
They didn't check my phone at all but my dad occasionally tried to punish me by taking my phone away. Only because I was always late for school lmao but I would always end up finding his hiding spot anyway.

Well I didn't have a cell phone until I was 29 or so. They weren't around much when I was younger

I never had a cell phone growing up, didn't get one until I was in my 30's when my wife (then girlfriend) gave me one for Christmas. It was not beyond my mother to listen in on the extension when I was talking to someone though...I always heard when she picked it up.

I don't buy them smartphones until I trust their judgement. No point in giving them something they haven't earned and then using it to control them.

@Miram Miram, you look like ur barely 21 though
Miram · 31-35, F
@Bushmanoz I am 29 and they aren't my biological children.

Never checked my kids phone. The rule was you get privacy until you give me a reason to not trust. All worked out and didn't need to check.

My kids got phones for their 17th birthday, and we never checked them...
ronisme1 · 61-69, M
Do you do anything on it that they would not approve of?
DaddyThomas · 46-50, M
Wow really ? How do you feel about that ?
Never checked theirs
Bushmanoz · 61-69, M
Oh!..I did have a tin can with string going to another tin can..and theyd ask who I was talking to
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
I didn't have my first phone until after I had moved out, so that was easy

I think once you hit 18 is should stop, you are technically an adult
