y do parents snoop through their daughters/sons rooms???

Question

like when the kid is gone they go through their rooms and take stuff they want and its like we have no privacy

Answer 1

I would've thought they'd be making sure they don't have drugs. But I guess they are doing something wrong if they are taking their things without permission.

Answer 2

Have you given your parents reason to go snooping? Have your grades started dropping, a change in friends, a change in attitude or behavior?? I have a 17 year old daughter and have NEVER had a reason to go snoop. We talk, so if I want to know anything that is happening in her life, she will either volunteer the info or I ask. She doesn't always tell me every detail, but she tells me enough that eases my mind. Even though it is your parents house and their rules, even kids are allowed a degree of privacy. If you give them cause to snoop, then the privacy is out of it.

Answer 3

Because I love my child, I choose to snoop through a room he occupies in MY HOUSE to make certain he is not doing 1) drugs 2) getting into pornography 3) stealing 4) shoplifting 5) drinking 6) smoking cigs or any other numerous things that young people experiment with like household chemicals. It is not that I have no trust, it is simple to understand that when someone is guilty of something THEY KNOW is detrimental, they HIDE it, and it is usually hid in 'their" space. It is better to be a spy than to be burying a child because you want to protect "their privacy". I have told him, if he has nothing to hide, then he should not mind me being in his room. he is 19 and he understands now, this is my house and every single inch of it is subject to search... if you're not doing anything wrong, then discuss why they are taking things that will not "hurt" you.

Answer 4

If you have nothing to hide, then you'll have nothing to worry about when your parents go through your room.
Look at it this way, the more often they go through your room & find nothing that they feel is wrong, then the more trust they will have for you.
The more trust they have for you, will earn you more privileges, like staying out later & things like that.
It's a growth process for both you & your parents.
They really aren't doing it to make your life miserable, they are doing it because they love you, & want to protect you.
As long as they keep comming up with ziltch when they go through your room, they will soon get tired of chasing nothing, & eventually learn that they really can trust you. So put up with it for now, & don't give them any reason to keep looking for whatever it is they are looking for. Another thing that will help you along on the trust thing is to get the very best grades you can in school, & always tell them where you are going to be, & when you tell them, always let them know when you have a change in plans.

Believe me, the longer you resist the longer they'll persist.

Answer 5

I know u have probably heard this before but guess what...Your going to hear it again..Because they care and they are scared that u might be leading in the wrong direction.They love u and they want to make sure u are alright.So maybe if your more open with them they won't go through your stuff.

Answer 6

at the start, it particularly is their abode they have good of get right of entry to to all of it, if it particularly is a issue, then do what each and every physique else says and flow out. If that's impossible than see in case you are able to "hire" a room and have some privateness, according to risk placed a locking knob on the door so which you would be able to lock your room once you depart. in the event that they do no longer point out it, then ignore it. in the event that they do, properly for one, you in no way reported in case you have been gay or no longer. in case you're then it particularly is a competent time to return out to them. Or in case your no longer waiting say it grew to become right into a gag present from a chum and you purely stored it to play a prank on him. in case your no longer gay then you certainly ought to nevertheless say the comparable subject. as some distance with the aid of fact the beer is going, i could purely be honest and say you occationally drink, yet placed the spin on it that it grew to become into at abode, and you will fairly drink at abode then out the place think ofyou've have been given to drink and force.

Answer 7

The room actually belongs to them. Their house, they can do as they like. If you have secret stuff get it out of their house. You get to have privacy when you get your own house.

Answer 8

BECAUSE ... we KNOW that you are doing something WRONG -- like Smoking, Drinking, into Drugs, hiding things that we don't want in our homes, we find things that the teens have stolen from others, teens are stealing from their own parent(s), etc.

BESIDES ... it is MY HOME -- not the teen's home -- because I PAID for MY HOME ... and the teen has NOT even started earning one penny or providing any help to meet any bills -- just living off the parental income. So yes, MY HOME, MY RULES -- and that means that it is a SUBSTANCE FREE and CRIME FREE ZONE!

Answer 9

unless u gave them something to mistrust you about, they really shouldnt be snooping through your stuff, kids need their privacy too, and doing this will just give parents something to worry about

Answer 10
