I am a computer network admin/engineer.

My House = My Rules

Nobody in my house has any presumption of privacy when it comes to using a computer. I am the keeper of all passwords, and I can and will check up on my wife, kids, or anyone else who uses a computer in my house.

My kids will have respect for personal space and privacy because they will have personal space and privacy in other areas, just not in their communications or interactions with adults.

I also intend to put satellite tracking, speed monitoring, etc. on any car my kids have until they move out. I will know where they are, whom they are with, and what they are doing at all times. If my kids act too badly, I'll put a camera in their room.

And there isn't a damn thing wrong with this.

Your WIFE? you don't trust your wife? Do you "allow" her the reciprocal right?
how old are your kids again? Oh, I see...... you dictate which mice are beyond help and can be considered teething aids. you da man.

My wife has her own computer. I have my own computer. I have no reason to know what my wife is doing on her computer, we share everything we do. We have 2 other computers that are desk tops which I allow my kids to use. My oldest, now in college has her own computer, what she does on it is her business, not mine, I only care that she studies hard and gets good grades so my money is not wasted. We use this and love it, it has saved us numerous times:

My wife has an administrative account on my computer. If she can figure out how to check up on me, she is welcome to do it. I have nothing to hide.

Right now my daughter is 8 months old. I miss the hell out of her. She's in Vietnam with her mother for Tet. I will join them on February 29th.

As my daughter grows up, I'll make all decisions regarding her medical care, nutrition, education, safety, and privacy. I'll teach her about freedom and liberty, and let her know the rules of my house.
