snoop(y)

I read an article a few weeks ago, and it made me think, snoop or no snoop? I thought about my own past and my own indiscretions - and yes, my own snooping. I have to say, if I had to do it again, I would not. You see, when you snoop you find. And ugh, finding is the worst. All of my fears came true - ugh, that is all I can say right now. UGH.
so I posted this to Facebook and found that moms will snoop on their kids, to make sure all is well. Hmmm, not sure how I feel about that. Another friend said, "anything in this house is free game" and another said, "if I thought my husband/wife was up to something" and tonight, another friend said, "if I feel the need to snoop then I need to get out of the relationship". Or something like that. He was too concerned that I would have something over his head that he would NOT elaborate on if/when he HAD snooped and make no mistake, he has/had.
How do I know if he has? When straight out asked he avoided (eyes shifting I'm sure)...so if he refuses to tell me the truth, I shall create my own truth - HE SNOOPED! (HAHAHAHAHA)
Now, with all this being said, I too believe someone has snooped on me. I know for sure my journal was read while I was in high school pouring my heart out onto the empty pages and like me, they read more than they bargained for. And if I'm not mistaking the ex fiance, he snooped in my journals too. Not sure that he learned anything exciting other than, "this relationship has issues".
Just a random thought about life...if you snoop does that mean you don't trust? Or is curiosity the devil on your shoulder?
Oh, Universe, step in...
snooping, thougths, trust in random thoughts, the book

Snoop or not to snoop? Good question. I would agree that if you are in a relationship and you are snooping then it is time to get out. I never snooped but I have been snooped on.
But with children, I think it is a different situation. I have a great relationship with all three of my girls. They are open and honest with me as I am with them. We talk about "everything." But I check their text messages, I read the notes that are left around and yes I have even read their journals. I don't read their journals every day, or every other day, maybe once a month. Not to snoop to see what they are doing or not doing, but to do a mental check on their attitude and what they are feeling or thinking. Being a kid these days is different then when we were kids. If my daughter is upset or hurt about something she will write about it to help her deal with the situation, as she should and I do encourage. If she doesn't mention the situation to me there is a reason and it helps me to approach that situation to help her work through it and to help me work on a possible situation for me to improve myself as a mom. :)
No dude, snooping and reading journals is BAD! NO NO NO.
stop doing that because WHEN they find out they will be very upset.
