they are younger and faster than you. and that is actually a good thing for the species. most of us did things our parents didn't know about. it's called growing up. don't snoop. on your kids or your spouse. trust goes further than snooping.

if they break the trust they will have to earn it back, but not giving it to begin with will fuck them up more than you think.
