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

Today, I found my long lost diary and curiously read it. What's worse than finding out that your mother read your diary? Finding out that your mother wrote comments in it. FML

Today, I was visiting my friend's new house and he was showing me around. I saw a small door in the wall and decided to open it. When I opened it, his daughter was hiding in there and screamed to scare me. Now I know my scream is more high pitched than his daughter's. I'm a 37 year old male. FML

Today, my dad found and read my diary. Most of the entries were about how my father didn't respect my privacy. Then he phoned my aunt and read her passages from it. FML

Today, I found one of my mom's old diaries that dated back to my infant days. I couldn't help but read a little. I'm now in great concern over how many times my mom wrote that she wanted to dunk me in the toilet or throw me against a wall. FML

The betrayal

Today, like an idiot, I accidentally included stuff I learned from snooping in my daughter's secret diary during a conversation with her. She's not happy at me right now, so I may have to polish off my old grovelling skills from when I was still married to her mom. FML

We need to talk…

Today, I took a look at my 9-year-old daughter's diary, thinking it would be full of cute stuff. Instead, it was full of hateful rants against me and my husband, as well the boys at her school, who she called gay because none of them ever hit on her. It seems I've failed as a parent. FML

Today, I checked my sister's diary, because I was worried about her recent angry and withdrawn behavior. She caught me in the act, and my mom, whom I've caught blatantly snooping through my stuff multiple times now, grounded me for my "disgusting" violation of my sister's privacy. FML

Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML

Today, my 4 year old daughter was ripping out photos of the family photo book, I asked her why she was doing it she answered, "I saw mummy doing it to another book." The only other family photo book was the day we got married. 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

You deserved that more than anything. I hope you feel horrible. My diary is my personal life & I would be even more distant from the person who tried to read it. YDI

You're a dumb mom, if you felt distant, you should've just sat down and talked to her, than to peek into her diary, dumbass

You couldn't - oh, I dunno - take her shopping with you instead of prying? It's her DIARY for Pete's sake!

I take it you were trying to sever connections completely with your daughter; breeching trust, invading her privacy and all. What alternatives do you think your kids are going to turn to if they can't even trust people in their own home?

Don't go behind her back like that. Sit down with her and talk. But remember: if she doesn't want to talk, that still does NOT give you the right to do something like this. You so totally deserved it.
