While I rarely looked at the logs, I think knowing that dad could check up on them kept them out of trouble.

Is it snooping if you tell them you are doing it?
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle used as a parenting technique. I love it.

And no, it's not snooping if the person being observed knows they're being observed.

Grace and I do things the same way. I share things with her, and I trust that she'll share anything I need to know with me. Our relationship wouldn't work without that trust.
