If you cannot tell what your kids are doing in any way other than listening inon their private conversations, you need to rethink your parenting methods and figure out what the hall you're doing wrong. Parents should respect their kids' right to privacy unless there's an overwhelming reason to intervene (some parents should have recognized the use of a pipe bomb as a paperweight as being a problem and said somethign before a couple of kids shot up their school.)
Of course, this is coming from someone whose mother went on a 45-minute tirade when she found that I had a zippo lighter, even though she know I didn't smoke, just as an example of how overbearing she can be.
