Today, I checked my sister's diary, because I was worried about her recent angry and withdrawn behavior.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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I caught my half-sister stealing money from her mother's purse. Rather than risk getting in trouble, she told her uber-conservative mother that I've been seeing a girl. So now, I'm grounded for being gay, and she gets off the hook for stealing because she outed me. FML
Today, my parents grounded me because I refused to do my little sister's homework for her. FML
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
Today, my sister smashed a cup on my head because I told her she couldn't borrow one of my necklaces since she lost one and stole another. I was grounded for "antagonizing" her into doing it. FML
Today, my mom and stepdad finally grounded my horrible, rebellious sister. The problem is that they grounded me as well in order to "keep me in line and make sure that I don't do what she was doing." FML
Today, my sister admitted to selling pages of my diary to my old boyfriends. FML
Today, my sister accused me of hacking into her phone because I helped her connect to a WiFi network a while ago, and she'd completely forgotten about it. I only found that out when my mom accidentally leaked it to me. 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, my little sister got mad at me because I wouldn't let her read my IM conversation. I took a nap and when I woke up, my laptop was gone. She took it on a trip to her grandparents' house, six hours away. Nude pictures of me and my paper due tomorrow are on the laptop. FML
Today, after my mom picked me up from the mall, she asked me what was in my bag from Gap. I wouldn't tell her, and she ended up grounding me. It was her Mother's Day present. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Diaries are meant to be private. I'd agree with your mom. Regardless of what she did, you shouldn't have done that.

Me and my sister look out for each other. I have bipolar. When I'm suicidal, talking to me won't get anyone answers. Well wouldn't have when I was younger, pre treatment. If she did that to me, I would have been angry at the time but thankful later, knowing she cared enough. Siblings often know more about each other then the parents do. Sometimes you have to go with your gut. And while snooping seems low, sometimes, depending on the person it really is the only way to know if something is truly wrong and if the parents should be brought into it. This world is not black and white only. There are gray areas that turn a never into an understandable action.

Why didn't you just talk to her instead of invading het privacy? You obviously know how that feels.

Because it runs in the family

Exactly. Just because your mom does it doesn't make it okay for you to do it, especially since you don't appreciate your mom's snooping.

because kids(and people in general) lie. I see nothing wrong with a concerned sister trying to figure out how to best help her sister.

Maybe you should've talked to your mom instead of invading her privacy.

Then he wouldn't been able to write this, because there wouldn't have been any story.

And it's possibly.why the sister is angry. No privacy!

If OP doesn't appreciate that her mom snoops, why would she assume that her sister wouldn't mind her snooping? Hypocrite...

No one has a right to violate someone's privacy, parent or not.

You would've have gotten away with it, if only you hadn't left your bookmark in there.

If you're concerned about your sister, don't snoop around. Talk to her directly about it. Honestly.

Do as I say, not as I do kinda thing?

Oh, she'll be angry now once she finds out.

Not the best way to go about things but I doubt talking to your sister would produce better results if she's been acting strange, although talking to your mom might have helped. It's the thought that counts!

So what are the odds that the next person your sister catches snooping will be dear old mumsie?
