Why did my mom just do this? - A. Sanders - 11-09-2012 11:08 AM
My mom recently told all of us kids that she installed a computer program that limits time on the computer and records everything you do into a compressed little video. This kind of disturbed me. Even though I don't do anything bad on the computer, she did this. Then, she told us that she blocked Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, too--and that the Internet in our house would be completely blocked on our iPods.
The thing is, we have never had a problem with this before. I'm not excessive on the computer, and I don't look at anything bad. The fact that my mom did this tells me that she doesn't trust me and that I don't deserve privacy. Why would she do this?
PS: I'm typing this question at a friend's house.
I am fifteen, my sisters are ten and twelve.

she is concerned about u doing the wrong things or not spending enough time with the family and doing other things instead becoming internet obsessed.

She wants to protect you but what she did is really overdoing it. This could be child abuse because she won't give you privacy. You do deserve privacy. How old are you? Age might be a factor. What does your dad say? Ask your mom why she's doing this and if she has proof not to trust you. She's a bit crazy.

Yes, YOU don't do those things. But what about the other kids???? she's PROTECTING you.
You've heard of all the creeps on the web, the porn you can watch, etc.
And this has been an issue forever - parents trying to protect their kdis and kids thinking they're not trusted. Used to be before cell phones, kids didn't want their parents listening in to their conversations on the phones in the house, or searching their rooms, etc.

Ask her why

Either one of you guys looked up something that made her upsetting or she's extremely over protective. I would say she only loves you a d wants what's best for you. But im not. She went a little bit too far. There's no reasons to have any electronics if she's gonna pull that. Id say just ask her exactly what made her wana put that on there. The time see where it goes from there.

I will say thats a bit over doing it but I guess shes just being protective and concerned. Give it some time and show her your responsible enough to use the internet. And in the meantime use the library or a friends computer to check your facebook and ect.
