[quote=Anonymous]I disagree with PP's opinion that you shouldn't snoop.  I look at my kids' accounts and they are aware that I do.  I do not consider this snooping and don't label it as such.  In fact, I usually have them sit with me while I look.

As far as the language, the stance I take is this.  I don't like it and I wish my kids didn't engage in the use of bad language.  They know my feelings on it.  However, I also know that they are going to hear and use whatever language they are going to use when not in my presence.  So, my rule is that my kids cannot be disrespectful.  It would be disrespectful to use certain language with adults, so don't.  It would be disrespectful to use certain language where adults can hear it, so don't.  And, it is disrespectful to use certain language around friends who find it disrespectful, so don't.

As far as what I see on my kids' communications with friends, well that's between friends and not meant for me.  The only reason I know about it is because I check, not because they are using the language around me.  So, I give this a pass.

So far, my kids have been very respectful of my feelings on this and have followed my requests.  I often hear them tell kids to be quiet because I might hear them using inappropriate or offensive language.
