Could parents peep their children's diary?

Parent's definetly shouldn't peep their children's diary. That's so wrong. The parents have to respect their sons privacy. If the children find out, she's going to lose the trust that she have on her parents and that can be hard to recover. I know that some parents says that is ok to peep in their children's diary if they think that something really bad is going on with her. I think if that's the case, the best think to do is talk openly with the children and let her know that she can talk anything with her parents that they will understand.

Hello lily and welcome to myLot. I'm going to go against go against the majority here so far. I don't believe a child living at home has any RIGHTS to privacy. They are totally dependent on the parents and if t hey are in trouble or have a problem the parents are responsible for them. Now having said that I would not read my child's diary unless I felt they were hiding something from me that might affect their life.

I don't think that they should, it is an invasion of privacy. I could think of many reasons why a parent would want to but i think everyone should be allowed the right to personal thoughts without having an age limit on when your privacy is respected by your family.

If you are worried; than yes. BUt whatever you do do not let them know you saw. Act discreet; don't lose their trust. DOn't let them know you broke their personal space, they need after all; their area and space where to develop into their own persons.

I think if it's absolutely necessary to look into a child's diary, then the parent should have that right. The parent usually wants the best for the child and is just looking out for them, so it shouldn't really matter if it's an "invasion of privacy". The parent just wants the best. And plus, the parent should have the authority to do that. They are the parent for one, and the kid is not old enough to make their own decision.

i think parents should give their kids privacy because i think they are doing this because they are shy to tell this information to their parents and are afraid that it may cause trouble. or the kids are just not ready to share it , just yet.

This is just my opinion but I have two answers kind of so let me explain... I feel that in some ways if there is a reason for it then yes. If you feel they are doing something terrible or they might be in danger for some reason then I think it might be a good idea. However, if it's just to be nosy and you have no reason to think anything is wrong and they are a really good kid in school and pretty good at home then I don't see a reason for it. I am a mother of 3 and if I sense my children are in danger I am absolutely going to make sure they are okay and keeping out of major trouble. If there is nothing happening and I don't sense anything wrong then I will not read their diary. I know it is something personal and unless it's an extreme situation I will keep their business their business. =)

i cann't bear my parents peeping my dairy, everyone has some secrets
