Today, feeling very distant from my daughter recently, I decided to sneak a peek in her diary to see what was on her mind. The book was apparently one of those that play the sound of a woman screaming when opened improperly, and alerted everyone in the house to my actions. FML

If you were distant, shouldn't you, oh I don't know, try to talk to her instead of looking at her diary? YDI

Say hello to trust issues and an even greater distance..

Even though I am not a parent, and never will be, op went too far. I agree that a parent must be a parent and lay down the law and do their utmost to protect their child. But violating privacy and trust that has been EARNED is just paving the way for consequences that will be devastating to the parent/child relationship.

Then talk to her, asswhipe! Don't go through her personal life without permission!

Did you see her shinigami when you touched the diary?

Don't worry, CallmeRyuzaki. I think the reason people are thumbing you down is because they don't get the reference.

Im pretty sure this just made them both more distant...

Congratulate yourself on having such a clever daughter, OP.

Deserved it as soon as I read that you looked into your daughters diary. Invasion of privacy!!!

Children have no expectations of privacy. Parents need a way to learn what their children are doing since children tend to lie about things. Especially if they did something wrong

I've known several kids who never lied to their parents...until their parents started snooping anyways. Once the trust was broken the kids saw no reason not to commit the crime since they were already receiving the punishment. Meanwhile, my parents have never snooped. Instead they do this crazy thing called talking to me. I can't remember the last time I lied to them.
