I agree with Vickie. I wouldn't want to snoop, but if I felt that there was something wrong and my child wouldn't talk to me about it then I would consider it. I think it depends on if you are doing out of being nosy or you truly have a reason to be concerned. I try to stress to my kids that privacy is earned in our house. If everyone is respectful and honest, then they earn their privacy. If that doesn't happen, then we'll need to micromanage their every move. .-= Tina T´s last blog ..Rules of Engagement =-.

I would never read my daughter's diary. I am very proud to say that she tells me everything anyway. We constantly talk about everything from boys, to drinking, to drugs, to sex to whatever else you can think of that a parent would be concerned about. If you have the trusted relationship with your kids you won't need to read their diary. Just my two cents. .-= Kirsten´s last blog ..Quotable Sunday #5 - Christmas =-.

Well normally I wouldn’t read my children’s diary. But, if I noticed that there is something wrong with her and she is not happy and I see the book, I will look in it to make sure she is not thinking about doing something bad to herself.

I agree that you should NOT read your child's diary. Tho - it will be hard as a mom to not want to know what's going on with your child. But, I will not do that to them. I remember having a diary as a child and not writing all my personal thoughts in it for fear someone would read it. Not that I had any reason to think so, but I guess I was afraid. I don't want my kids to feel that way. .-= Kasey @ All Things Mamma´s last blog ..We’re Off! =-.
