I don't mind telling my parents where I am all the time, I introduce almost all of my friends to my mother at some point, and I've never gotten into any serious trouble. My mother doesn't exactly _snoop_ most of the time, but a few times she has, and she hasn't liked what she found.

It blows me away, however, that she would get so upset over something very harmless when I have always been very open with her about every aspect of my life. She knew when I started to become sexually active, and she took me to get BC when I needed it. The _two_ times I drank alcohol in a party-type setting, she knew about it. I've never kept anything important from her, and I see no reason to.

Over time, I've found that the best strategy for getting my mother not to be nosy is to tell her more than she wants to know. This has been extremely effective for the last few years. *Chuckles*

While asking for your password is more of an invasion than I would normally be comfortable with, unless you're the one paying for the internet connection I don't think you have any arguments.
