Snooping just to snoop is lazy and dishonest parenting?

Who agrees? I’m not talking about a situation where a teenager is harming themselves(drugs, mutilation, abuse etc…) but when parents snoop just for the sake of snooping, even if the teenager gives NO reason to be suspected.
If you treat teenagers like criminals and degrade them as if they’re nothing but your personal property, then why be suprised when their behavior reflects that?
So, who agrees snooping for no apparent reason is a dishonest abuse of trust and authority?
Pandabear- And with that type of disrespect you have for your kids, don’t be surprised when they rebel against you either as teens or once they move out. Authoritarian parenting almost always has negative results. Your kids are humans, not property.
btw, Adults are just as sneaky, if not moreso, than teenagers. Where do people get this idea that it’s only something teenagers do?
My parents didn’t snoop, and I am not into illegal or harmful activities. What’s your point?
And no, snooping does not make you responsible, it makes you controlling and vindictive. Teenagers are humans with their own thoughts and lives, they aren’t your personal property to do as you wish with.
"Nothing to hide"? So, is it ok if the government snoops on you? If you have nothing to hide, then what’s the problem?
