Seems Like Maybe It's Time


I make no apologies about it.

I can read my kids' texts. They show up on my iPad.  I even insert myself into their text conversations sometimes.

Again - no apologies.

And if you aren't doing it, then you don't love your children.

But...I think it's about time for me to consider letting my 17-year-old daughter out of the observation chamber.

I popped in to see what was going on and my eyes began burning.  I screamed in pain and agony as my brain was seared.  No, it wasn't because of any improper pictures or language, which is why I ever monitor the texts in the first place.

For the most part, she has embraced my counsel on those matters as they have come up.  For that, I am grateful.

But reading in (spying on, if you will) a group text with a couple of her friends, I realized there are things that I do NOT need to be reading about. Ever.

EH...VER.

Not about her.  And certainly not about her friends. I don't think I need to spell it out for you. So I won't.

But don't go thinking my boys will get off so easily. [Evil, Maniacal Laughter]
