Subject: I know. I actually am torn. I want her to be happy. I want her to have something to strive for. But, I have to tell her I was snooping. That's not going to go over well. If I give it back to her, she'll only be more careful to delete every little trace of inappropriate usage. WHAT SHOULD I DO? Sue

Subject: Learn to trust. Make your point by taking away the privilege, allow her to earn it back, and then trust her enough not to snoop again unless you have a very strong reason. You can't control everything your child does but you can try to teach her a life lesson by modeling the same behavior you want to see in her. By showing your trust in her, maybe she will decide it's worth keeping. ~i&b

Subject: Do I blow my cover? I fear I won't have access to her IM's anymore because she'll delete the log. Sue
