That's exactly what this is. I have teenage kids, and understand that their phone is their private life and I have to respect that privacy.

Pranking them like this is both stupid and bad parenting. They're not your pub friends, they are your children.

lol I laughed way to hard at this.

Perhaps, but not to me. What was described above is me: gagging on a glass of water because it's too plain. I just can't drink plain water.

I once decided to change all of the contacts in my brother's phone to "Bob", but felt guilty shortly after starting and undid it.

You mean kids haven’t been trying to find ways around their parents for the past 100,000 years?

>My children will put me in a home and never visit.

Why would you post this? We're talking about privacy.

edit:

gonna make an actual argument I guess

All you're doing is raising your kids to have trust issues, and to always hide their lives away from you.

Trust between people is always mutual, and if you don't trust them and go full big brother on them, sooner or later they won't trust you either.

I mean, you’re just raising a kid to be sneaky to find a way around your helicopter parenting. But hey, if that’s the way you want to raise your kid, go ahead. Lmao

You are free to raise your children how you see best. I will raise mine as i see best.

However when i handed her the phone, i was clear: this is my phone which i am letting her use to make my life easier, as a reward she also gets to use it for her own life, but it's mine and i will be monitoring her activity

You're a piece of shit.

No, you should not go through your kids electronics, especially behind their back and without them knowing.

> My boss made a joke about running me over and I said I wish you did.

Don’t worry, maybe your boss didn’t interpret it was you wanting to die. Maybe he interpreted it as you wanting to have some sort of rough sex with him

My girlfriend is now being involuntarily held for making a similar comment. Be careful what you say at work in regards to suicide and such. Some people don't understand euphemisms, or some people might have it out for you. Some might also not want to be liable if you made a comment and it wasn't reported.

It was probably a LOT of work fixing that. YATA, OP.

Geez. I'd never trust you after something like that if I were your daughter.

Privacy with electronics is a privilege not a right for children and it should not be the default. It is the responsibility of a parent to occasionally monitor their child's activity for unsafe conduct.

The renaming bit... The funniness will vary from person to person.

Why would they open a package with your name on it.

I added a bunch of LGBTQ movies to my youngest son’s list on Netflix. His girlfriend was confused.

This is hilarious. I'm glad the uncle was blamed

Trader Joe's is just the brand name for Aldi Nord in the USA. I believe that Canada has either Aldi Nord or Aldi Sud at least in the major cities.

This is priceless... As a parent, I can totally appreciate this LOL... Way to go Dad 🙌

yeah that's just kinda shitty and annoying and and not very funny and pretty much invading your kids privacy?

idk maybe I'm just being dramatic

We believed it until stumbling on your post. Anyways have fun.

And this is why I don't tell anyone my password and change it...oh wait I did tell someone my password oh well, I'm grateful that she forgot about it 😂😂😂
