My parents weren't total snoops, when it came to me being online they never asked for my passwords or anything like that. But I know my mom always cleaned my room so I'm sure she looked around while she was doing it. It never bothered me since I figured I didn't have anything to hide. I think if I had a kid I would do a little bit of snooping, but nothing too extreme. Personally I feel that it's their house so they have the right to do it. They pay for the internet so they have a right to look at what you're doing. But I also think it would depend on the kid. If I had a kid who seemed to be open and honest with me, even when things were bad then I'd trust them enough to leave their things alone. But if I thought my kid was hiding something from me then I would snoop.
