They don't know that Mom knows how to find their MySpace page and info quite as well as I do. I love to play stupid for them and let them fall into the trap!

Please tell what you do when the trap is shut ? How do you get on to look at their space ? I am still not that crazy about myspace for my kids or anybody else placing their photos on a web site. Crazy world it is

How do I get to look at their space? I can never tell my secret in public on the board!!! But let's suffice it to say the kids should pay more attention to who they make their "friend"!

I wonder if Mom wasn't so busy using underhanded tactics to spy on her kids if they would be a little less sneaky and more open with her?

Ummm Brain you obviously don't have kids so you'll never understand truly what us parents are referring to. I spend very little time checking up on my children. I simply don't have to. It's just there if I need it. My children have been raised well and therefore as of this day have made pretty good decisions.

It's interesting how people without kids seem to want to give us parents advice the most isn't it? I have been very fortunate that my girls and I have a very open relationship. I'll say I've even been startled by some things they have confided and entrusted in me. I think it's okay to make sure that any inappropriate photos or language or too much info. aren't being placed on My Space. If so I just ask her to take it down AND she knows I glance at it every now and then. One can never be too careful especially with daughters!

Of course, and not having children means I lack the intelligence to form opinions. Just like people should shoot heroin in their veins before having opinions about illegal drugs and try butt sex a time or two before having opinions about sodomy and/or homosexual relationships too, huh?

Yeah, thank god we don't all live on your planet.

Yeah, I was born an adult too and don't have any first hand experience at being a child, and with the exception of Anime, more recently than most folks here too.

BTW, creating alternate personalities for the sole purpose of spying on your children falls smack dab in the middle of going overboard, in my opinion, regardless of how you justify it to yourself.
