Today, while looking through my son's browser history, I found a Google search for "stop looking in my history u nosey cunt". I swore last week that I don't invade his privacy, so I can't even punish him for the bad language without looking like a lying bastard. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was on the phone to my boss and I mentioned about finding what he needed in the search history. Later, my dad asked what a search history is. When I explained, he went red and asked me if I could maybe delete his without reading it. Jesus Christ, Dad, use private browsing. FML
Today, my dad saw my cleared internet history and said, "You do know we can still track your history with your IP address, right?" I don’t ever look at porn or anything like that. I just don’t want other people knowing all my business all the time. FML
Today, I looked through my daughter’s search history. Did I find porn? No, worse. At the age of 17, she has been looking up the definitions of commonly used words such as ‘arbitrary,’ ‘pretentious,’ and ‘initiative.’ FML
Today, my parents scoured my browser history, certain that I have a hidden Facebook account that I'm using to get up to no good. Their reasoning was that there's no way my only friends are my relatives and that all I can post about is about the weather. FML
Today, I found out my parents have a list of everything I have ever Googled. FML
Today, while having a sneak through my brother's browser, I found a bookmark for a Google Docs file. It was a short story involving him horrifically killing our entire family. It ended with the words: "And that is what happens when people don't respect the author's privacy." FML
Today, I went through my 15 year old daughter's internet history. On google she searched 'Excuses to get away from your dad' and 5 other variations of the same thing. We were supposed to be having a father daughter day tomorrow. FML
Today, my dad wanted to show me a cool camera he saw on Amazon yesterday, so I let him use my laptop to find it. I realized too late that I'd forgotten to clear my browsing history. The suggested purchases section was filled with dildos and lube. He definitely noticed. FML
Today, I decided to go through my younger brother's browser history. I found out he goes regularly on PornHub. He's only 10. FML
Today, I was interviewing a cute guy for my journalism class, and he asked to borrow my laptop to check his email quickly. After the interview, I realized that the last thing I had searched for on my browser's Google box was "ingrown pubic hairs," and it was still up there. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Completely deserved it. Let him have his privacy. He's growing up. YDI.

Overly strict and invading parents make for amazing sneaks and great liars.

Your son is a bro.

You are the parent. Your child did wrong. Own up to the fact you lied. Let him know he did wrong too. Make this all a teaching moment. Both parties need to take ownership and move forward. And let them know that as a result you will be monitoring things more, as again, YOU ARE THE PARENT!

Actually as his parent you are free do as you please. You are the adult and not calling him out for bad language etc is allowing him to behave however he wants because your worried about looking like a "bastard" and we wonder why there are so,many assh@le kids in the world

1. OP's son might also be an adult. 2. Just because someone swears doesn't mean they're an asshole 3. OP's not worried about looking like a bastard. More worried about looking like a liar. Just saying...

Most asshole kids come from the type of parents you so idolize, actually.

Well you are a lying bastard so...

Sorry OP but you totally deserved it. I hope you weren't looking for sympathy :/

I love how everyone is saying that OP deserves it when he is a parent, and unless the son moves out then the parent is entitled to snoop.

Apparently, parents are now immune to criticism.

What if OP lives with their son?

Like a lot of people on here I sayYDI. Unlike a lot of people on here it's not because you're "a snooping parent", but because you need to be a parent. That means, yes I looked at your browser history, I'm your PARENT!!! It's not my job to be your "buddy". My kids (3) didn't like a lot of the things I did, but they grew up knowing I cared about what they were doing and who they were growing up to be. And guess what? They're not perfect, but they're also not serial killers, drug addicts, my daughters pictures aren't public info across the web. They're all strong, capable adults with jobs, houses, families, homes and no criminal records. They also today come to me thankful that I'm part of their lives and trust me with my grandkids because they know I'm not a wimpy azz person.
