just how much 1 disagreed with you
every time you said a child's room
and belongings are their private
business, and parents should re-
spect this so-called "privacy" and
not snoop. BULL!
Now 1 no longer feel guilty for all
the times 1 secretly "invaded" my
kids’ privacy by reading their diaries
and going through their backpacks
and purses, dresser drawers and
closets, and even eavesdropping on
their phone conversations. If the
kids don’t have anything to hide,
they shouldn’t need to worry. Call
me a snoopy mom, but 1 know what
my kids are up to, what their plans
are and who they plan to do it with,
and I no longer feel guilty whatsoev-
