If u found your childs diary while cleaning their room...would u read it ?

My answer is this. No. If they are doing okay and show no signs of being in a state of pain and dismay I wont read it. Would you read a diary if you knew it was your childs. 👶

I would. The problem with what you say is that some kids don´t show any signs of being in a state of pain and dismay. It´s on the news just about every day. Some things are not easily visible.

Thats true. But to me I dont agree with invading someones privacy. And I trust my 6th sense.☺

@Zonuss: If she/ he is a minor and lives under my roof and there are worrying things in that diary, I´d rather read it and help my kid than trust my 6th sense ( it is known to fail ) and let something happen that could have been prevented otherwise.👍

@Underconstruction: I see.

I would not read it.

I would hand it to them and let them sweat it out though. LOL

Oh my gosh! LOL!

I'm not sure. I'd like to say no, but part of me knows there aren't always signs. People can be very good at hiding things, but I would never want to invade their privacy, so this, for me, is a very difficult thing to determine.

I understand. Note diaries arent always bad. Its just documentation of a persons life.

@Zonuss: I understand, but that's part of what worries me. I had a journal when I was younger, and I wrote about my unacknowledged eating disorder and mental illness. I wrote about suicide and death and feeling empty, andnd it would kill me to learn my child was struggling through anything like what I had, or anything at all, and I didn't know or just sat by.

Why is that.

KaysHealingPath · 36-40, F

Considering my sons are 10 & 7 - absolutely.
would I tell them? probably not unless I found something alarming.

Zonuss · 41-45, M

I understand.
