[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read them. I don't use an app, etc... I just pick up the phone and read.

[B] I don't believe in privacy for phones. You can read mine, I can read yours. [/B]

While reading the texts I found out Larla offered to send my 8th grader a topless picture.
I found out that 9th graders are smoking pot, giving BJs and drinking their parents vodka.
I found out which parents allow drinking in the basement every weekend.

You would and have allowed your children to read your texts and evaluate them for appropriateness? Interesting. I still find a lack of privacy for individual people's communications inappropriate, but at least this is far more respectful than the way I see most parents carrying out such a policy. I would only consider doing this to my children's texts if I was likewise willing to allow them to do so to mine in return, which I am not. That's a good check, thanks for sharing something I hadn't considered before.[/quote]

Why would you feel the need to let your kids read your texts? Do they pay for your phone and service? Are they your guardians, responsible for helping you make good decisions as you mature? [/quote]
