My mom keeps on intruding in my life and I'm almost a teenag
Question Posted Monday July 25 2005, 1:28 pm
My mom keeps on intruding on my life. Heres a perfect example: Im sure some of you have an AOL screen name right?? For instant messaging? Well, I have it. And it has something called a log manager whice saves all of my conversations. So anyways, She READS MY MESSAGES I SEND TO PEOPLE. And then shes like, "YOU SWEAR TOO MUCH YOUR BANNED FROM IT!" And ITS SO GAY. AND IM FURIOUS. SOMEONE HELP ME!
ElmosBrightStar answered Wednesday July 27 2005, 4:17 pm: Delete the log manager after you finish. My mom used to do the same thing. Also, put a lock on your door and tell her she is inturding, and don't let her say any of this "It's because I love you" stuff. Hope it works out [ ElmosBrightStar's advice column | Ask ElmosBrightStar A Question ]

I have the same trouble...and if i question them then they ask me if i have somthing to hide. [ Napalm350z's advice column | Ask Napalm350z A Question ]
Aeries answered Tuesday July 26 2005, 1:36 pm: well, u no that its jujst your mum caring for you ye? an im sure you have told her you dont like it, this may be a thing that your mum has to deal with, your still her baby girl and always will be, if you no shes readn them, then put a msg at the start as a joke, and reassure her that she can trust you. or you can find the logs, delete them, or just go onto a privacy account for AOL, and get it to not log them, if you dnt no how, then email aol??

devilspawn_666 answered Monday July 25 2005, 8:28 pm: I don't know if AOL is the same as MSN, but I know there's a way to turn off the "saved conversation" feature. Saving all of your conversations is just BEGGING to be intruded upon. And if you've given your mom reason to distrust you, then her snooping is well-founded, but if not, you should just stop saving your conversations and save yourself the hassle. And once you actually ARE a teenager, you'll probably get hassled a lot more than you do now. [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]

Lauren_E_x3 answered Monday July 25 2005, 5:39 pm: I think you should talk to your mom !! Things you don't mind her knowing about tell her the more she knows the less she'll she intrude. take sometime to spend with her. she is prolly looking at you messages because she doesn't feel close enough to u!
AGAiNSTxTHExODDS answered Monday July 25 2005, 5:29 pm: Alright well invasion of privacy from parents is GAY i agree. There's nothing you can really do except talk to your mom to see if she can give you a lil space and stop intruding on your life. As you get older she'll may give you a little more privacy but it depends. For now i would just monitor tha conversations saved just incase she does decide to look through them. Hope I helped =] [ AGAiNSTxTHExODDS's advice column | Ask AGAiNSTxTHExODDS A Question ]

1Cutiewitabooti answered Monday July 25 2005, 2:09 pm: i say you go on her sn and cancel that log manager thing. Or make her - you know how there's a teen, adult and kids. For your sn there's a category. Change her categopry so that she cant have that. First you just have to get her password. or write your conversations in code so that she cant understand it. if you want a code u can write it in ask me .

t0xicParadiSe answered Monday July 25 2005, 2:07 pm: you should really talk to your mom about this she needs to respect your privacy its not fair to you if she goes around reading your personal stuff
find a way to get rid of that thing or maybe you could get a password if you cant then you could just get AIM it doesnt have a log manager so she wont know your conversations
if you need anything else drop one in my inbox ♥ [ t0xicParadiSe's advice column | Ask t0xicParadiSe A Question ]
babyface answered Monday July 25 2005, 2:03 pm: i would cancel the thing if you can or like get your own password to get into your AOL instant messanger or if you can't do that just tel your mom to get a lock for your door and if she asks y just say a lie and then she might get you 1!
Rocker1213 answered Monday July 25 2005, 1:55 pm: If you ask me i think that your mom is being rude. Is there any way you can delete conversations on the log manager? If you can i suggest deleting your conversations when you r done talking. Also you could change ur password so that ur mom wouldn't be able to look. Hope i helped.
LoveNJstyle answered Monday July 25 2005, 1:47 pm: well it really depends how old you are...the title says something about "almost a teenager" so that would be around 12? at 12 you cant have anything online without parents getting it for you, know what i mean? so just talk to her and ask her nicely to not track everything you do and promise her you'll be good. or make a code with your friends online that she cant decode or write really cheesy stuff. hope this helps! <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
dani022 answered Monday July 25 2005, 1:42 pm: Your right that you should get a little more privacy on line but maybe you could apoligize to your mom and just explain to her that you want some privacy. Then if she lets you back on maybe dont swear too much and try to have conversations that dont invole swearing. good luck! [ dani022's advice column | Ask dani022 A Question ]

Me_Help_You answered Monday July 25 2005, 1:39 pm: Explain to your mom that your old enough where you need some privacy in your life. Besides, she shouldn't be watching you and lecturing you on every wrong thing you do!
T0XiiC_L0Ve answered Monday July 25 2005, 1:32 pm: hmm...talk with her and explain to her that you need your privacy and tell her that you're pretty sure she wouldn't want someone doing that to her. [ T0XiiC_L0Ve's advice column | Ask T0XiiC_L0Ve A Question ]
