First of factor out privacy when we obviously need, this post focuses on cleaner aspects.

Is privacy required when one is upto no mischief? Are individuals entitled to privacy at home from own family members..I mean close family?

Do you think it's really necessary in today's net savvy world for family members to share sites visited and login info on refrigrator's dash board for all to see? thinking the trust factor, nahi? why?

i think u mean "breathing space" here...not privacy per sey😊

i wld like to know all the sites my teenager is visiting but that's where i draw the line. i do not ask for her passwords for her email acct etc. beyond a certain point, u just gotta trust ur parenting and values u instilled.

as far as sharing my passwords with my family, 😆i don't think they wld want to know what all i discuss with my bahnee and VD😆 seriously, no...i do not share my IF/orkut passwords with my hubby and do not expect him to share his with me😊 as far as the sites visited, that is there for all to see under internet options on Tools above. We clear the history once a month and only I or my hubby is allowed to clear it. the kids can't do that...one more control for kids here😊

Yes, 😳 as whether you are up to lots or none, Privcy is always requied even betwen family members, as then you will feel like they have to know every minute of every hour what you are doing..which irrtating. Even though, you may have nothing to hide, Privacy is a right, you are not entitled to invade another adults privacy in General are you and so why between immediate family be any different? Kids grow up and marry, do your parents really want to know the finer points of your life even at that age, i think not.It is fine when adults are responsible for children but not when there is grown individuals. Privacy is something that eve in a household should be respected - as if smeone keeps trackon you 24/7, not only is it irratating but fel you have no time for youself to just dowhat you want and get on with it. Lijke you freedom is limited.

No it is not necesary at all for family members t share passwords and sites. Parents if they need to know cna monitor what child doe, n worries there but come one is it really necessary?? I think not.

Trust -Majot aspect, Yes i know my family members passwordsto email etc but only for reason, i set up their accounts and they are Usees with computers. But i woud not abuse their trust and log in even though they are my sisters or Bro's accounts. Waise im prety sure, all i would find on Bro's Aol is motorbike games and god nows what other games he play😆

It is fine to know, what site ur on etc but not log in, and keep tabs. Everybody is entitled to just do what they want, and its fine kmowing what they are up to, but not sit next to them and keep neighbour watch on them. I am sure if someone read all of their private messages and emails and that, they would notdeem it appropriate so why is anyone any different to them.

If my Parents do not care what i am doing, then i do not see what buisness it is of anyone elses. 😳 Yeah i will say I am on I-F, reply = ok. 😉

Login info - why dont u just share your bank statements while you are it for all nosy family members, or link your PC to the tv, so they can tune in.

Wait, i have an Awesom idea, get CCTV on u, that way they cnacheck on u 24/7.....SAD IMO🤢

i think the kind of privacy we are talking about here is desired by most but is not desirable in most circumstances.😛 it gives rise to individualistic behavior, not to a sense of family and togetherness. for example, cant have one kid getting the mutton tikka masala served in his bedroom watching fashion TV😉, while the rest eat together on the family table.

as for internet login/ passwords, it wld be better if sposues knew uncle sam was watching. with handsome devils that are known to lurk out there, it would be best to keep temptations at bay. like they say, prevention is better than cure whether or not something hanky-panky has gone down till that point😉

equally important, from what i hear, kekta might endorse these views as well😛- she certainly has the entire clan show up together in some huge living room for every proceeding. almost like convening the senate on each and everything😆

hahha...true, over 90% of the problems in married life will be solved....or rather...prevented by having uncle sam breathe down our necks😆. for folks sans spouses......their mommies shd know all their passwords😛😉 ab hanky panky problems hee toh only problems hain life mein. baki sab ka kya...aaltoo faaltoo key problems hain woh sab toh😆

Don't see why everything has to be shared between family members unless they both or all have same interests in work and leisure activities. I may prefer to read girly magazines or read my news on CNN where as they may prefer ESPN or Golf sites.

Trusting someone not to do the wrong thing is in dialectical tension with Not trusting someone to do the right thing. imo

Why not?? whats there to be hidden... if there is trust who bothers to even go there and see... but nice way for parents to understand and guide kids ...

Within spouses.. if trust no one even bother to gooo and check.. it will be valued if things are going great... 😳

Cameras are on to see moves of everyone in parking lot..not that someone is watching for any wrong doing...but its valueable at times... no?
