[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you're doing a good job. Don't second guess yourself too much and you can never snoop enough. You are the mother, you can be her friend when she grows up.[/quote] The part about being a friend is kind of weird because no one suggested that. I don't think OP is necessarily wrong to check the accounts, especially because she does respect her DD's diary and gives her a zone of privacy. But I do think if she's going to do this she has to tolerate a level of discomfort over what she reads and not react. Also, I have older teens and I do think you have to shift away from reading their communications, unless there is a strong reason. Ultimately, kids are more savvy with this stuff than you are and they will find ways to hide what they want to hide. Raising children to be independent and confident is a slow process of pushing your comfort zone as a parent.[/quote]
