Today, I got the cell phone bill for my family and saw that my son had gone over his limit by around 1,000 messages. Curious to see what he was talking about that much, I read the messages. Apparently, my 15 year old son is having it off more than me and my wife. FML

@299 I'm 15 too. Heres a few thoughts, 1.) learn to spell. 2.) cursing every other word doesnt make you cool, and it certainly doesnt give you that mature-beyond-my-age impression you were going for. 3.) Nobody wants to hear about your dumb religious beliefs. Nothings going to happen if someone has sex before their married. as long as he has safe sex he's fine 4.) Your advocating for invasion of privacy just makes you seem like that asshole snitch that nobody likes, who believes everything their parents tell them and take on all their values without questioning anything. So, somehow i doubt that your a better parent than half the parents out there. And i doubt you'll ever be, because chances are your never getting laid.

You should have made that little **** you call a son pay for it himself. Just going over the texting limit was enough. There was no need for you to go and read his texts.

hahahahahahaha cant wait for kids...... and text snooping is low but i agree with you on lookiong at his texts.... if you are paying extra on that month then you deserve to look at his texts. You should have asked but REMEMBER: curiosity killed the cat...... but also satisfaction brought him back

Okay I wouldn't agree with just randomly reading your kid's texts because then, yeah, that would be a little invasive....but he went over the texts by 1000?!?! That's just ridiculous!!! And the people who are saying it's easy to go over on texts, yeah it definitely is, I have a plan of only 250 because I'm in college and don't want to have to pay a lot of money for unlimited but if the kid has a plan with a limited number, he needs to make sure he doesn't go WAY over!! I've gone over several times but it's more like 10 over....the kid needs to learn some responsibility!!!! So I think it was totally fine to read the texts if he has been abusing his right to have a cell phone that much. And his son waved bye-bye to respect for his privacy when he disrespected his parents by jacking up the price of the phone bill!!! OP: I hope you made the kid pay for all the over charges and TAKE HIS PHONE AWAY IF HE'S GOING TO ABUSE IT LIKE THAT!! And to the people who keep saying Oh, every 15 year old is having sex...first of all NO. NOT every 15 year old is having sex and just because there seems to be a lot of them, it doesn't make it RIGHT! Fifteen is WAYYYYYY too young!

Here's the deal. As a parent, would all of you who say "don't invade his privacy/he can do it if he wants to" want to *pay* for your child to have sex? Especially so much? I know I wouldn't. So if the kid didn't go over, there would be no issue. But he went over by a *lot,* doing something that his parents probably don't approve of. It's ok to instill values and then let the kid decide. But I will be damned if I have to pay that much for the kid to be doing anything I really truly disapprove of as his parent. I wouldn't tell the kid I've been through the messages, that is asking for the kid to think you're a fascist. But I would tell him that if he goes over the limit *ever again* his phone is going to be *gone.* End of story.

Get him unlimited texting then, dumbass. I text way too much and I've had more than 1000 texts a month. That much texting isn't a big deal. And most 15 year old kids are having sex these days, so YDI for being nosy. and YDI for not having sex with your husband.

Ok, I am also #165.... and everyone thinks I called the OP a "bad parent", no. I never said that. In my opinion, or if I was the parent, I would have asked my son first. "Hey, you went over your texting limit by a lot, whats going on?" but OF COURSE he's not going to just come right out and say "I'm having sex!". I guess my opinion is a little different than others because I am still in my teen years, and if my mom ever reads my texts I FLIP. It's the principal of the thing. Everyone is entitled to their privacy, would any of you like it if your parents went through your texts? Just because they raise the kid doesn't give then a right to snoop, unless for a good reason. The OP said he was just curious. Sorry, but I don't agree with that, but on the other hand, I'm not a parent yet. Plus! your son is going to be very embarrassed when he finds out you know. (just saying, no one needs to get on my case)

I think you have every right to read the texts. If you pay for it, it is your phone and you're allowed to read whatever you want. I personally don't like when my mom reads mine but I have nothing to hide so it doesn't matter if she does or not. If you don't want parents 'snooping' then pay for your own phone. You should punish that boy by the way

wow guys. the kid is only 15. his parents have every right in the world to go through his phone and see who he is texting. IM 15 and my parents do that. i have no problem with it because i know they aren't doing it to be nosy, they care about me. as for sexting, i do not think that is normal, or at least shouldn't be. its disgusting.
