You are asking some interesting questions Sweetie. I'll answer them the best I can.

How much privacy should children get?

As much as they need.


Do children deserve privacy?

I think so. Kids have times they like to be alone whether it's in the bedroom or the bathroom. I think parents who barge in on them are just being controlling. Going into their rooms unannounced and going through their things. I've known people who say, "if they don't have anything to hide, there's no reason to be upset with me for doing that". I think that way of thinking is wrong. I was taught as a child and I have taught my kids, "Knock and ask before you enter, and you don't go through other people's things." All three of my kids have their devices, whether it be phones or tablets. We turned on the parental controls because they are kids and there's a lot of bad crap and people out there. But I don't go through their devices. Because if you don't trust your children, they will never be trustworthy. Children, just like adults deserve their privacy. By the way, I don't think it's right for a man or woman to go through their partner's phone either. It's disrespectful to your partner to do that. I'm sure there are some who will argue with me about that.

Most of us had our shorts pulled down for a spanking when we were kids. Was that a violation of our privacy? I got bare bottom spankings as a child and into my teens. After I got spanked, most of the time I would go to my room, to be alone and cry. Many of those times my Momma or Daddy would come back to talk with me. They would always knock and ask to come in. Most of the time I told them yes and we would sit and talk and make up. There were a couple of occasions where I said no. They would respect my privacy and allow me time to settle down. I have spanked my own kids the same way I was spanked at home and they will usually go to their rooms. I respect their privacy and give them the time they need.

What about when we were lounging around the house in our underwear and parents snapped a picture? Was that a violation of our privacy?

We often as kids, ran around in our underwear and sometimes stark naked. We were little and it was cute. Even in my teens, I would run around the house in a tee or nightshirt and panties. In fact, sometimes, I do that now. When I was small, just being in panties wasn't an issue, but when my breasts started to develop, I wasn't allowed to run around topless anymore. I would have to wear a tee. There were pictures of me taking baths or in my underwear as a toddler, but as I started growing they no longer took pictures of us like that. I was "allowed" to be naked in my bedroom if I wanted. There were plenty of times I would sleep naked in my room. It was never an issue and again, my parents and sibs knocked before entering. Even though they are thirteen, eleven and nine, my kids sometimes do still run around in their underwear. The boys will sometimes be shirtless and my daughter will wear some type of top and her panties and no, I don't take pictures of them like that. For example, on Christmas morning, they are all excited to get their presents. I will ask them to put on pjs, a robe or get dressed before opening the present. That way we can take pictures or make videos of them.

Is privacy for children a good thing?

I believe so.

I hope I have answered all your questions hon.
