BM2 encouraged SS to "have some privacy"

I read the message weeks ago...she told him he should change the pin number for his tablet.  I never said anything.  Until today when I went on it and couldn't get in.  So I reset it and changed the pin number back to what it was originally.

Sorry but not on my watch.  No 15 year old gets private, unlimited access to the internet under my roof.  So I asked SS why he did it and why he snuck his tablet this morning.  Alread...first day of dang school and it starts.

SS:  My mum said I should

Me:  Why is that?

SS:  Uhhh well something about having my privacy

Me:  Ok well when you're with your mum, whatever she says goes.  If she wants you to have privacy when you're with her. that's her call.

SS:  Okayyyy

Me:  However I disagree.  You're living with us 99% of the year.  You've already been blocked by Facebook for trying to search for nude photos of women.  So even Facebook is parenting you.

SS:  mumbles something completely red-faced

Me:  If you were an adult who could make the best choices for yourself, you'd be able to work, pay rent, drink, smoke, buy your own place.  But you're only 15 so you need guidance.  And I will make sure you're using the internet safely.  When you're living on your own, supporting yourself, paying your own way, do what you like with your stuff.  But not until then.  Do you understand?

SS:  Yeah

Way to go, BM2.  Please encourage your autistic, immature, lacking common sense child to have free unlimited, unsupervised use of the internet.  Well done.  Mother Of The Year.  As always.

I have no experience with autism but the logic is really the best tool with teenagers in general, unless they aren't very bright then it goes right over their heads, at least that was my experience with SDs.

I think the real reason she's encouraging his privacy is for herself. You see, she has me blocked on FB.  So she could post all her gag worthy memories of when she was married to DH. It was highly inappropriate stuff.

Now she knows I check SS15's stuff, it means I could see the trollop she posts. Used to... now that I can see it via SS's account.

You see she's only a slimy snake in the shadows.   Never had the guts to do anything to my face. So, as usual, this is about her.  Ya know, because it always is...

What a fricking idiot! Does she have ANY idea what the internet is for the kids these days, and how much trouble they can get themselves into when it is used with no supervision? And she thinks she gets to make the call about whether he has a password? Nice try BM.

Yeah she's a gem.  As I said above, it's probably more about her than anything.  Plus she's lost control of DH, since she couldn't make him leave me, so she tries anyway she can.  She couldn't make SS hate us so she tries petty things like making him change his tablet pin and buying him different stuff to treat his face acne.  Ya know, anyway she can butt in to feed her narcissistic self-centered tendancies...

Amusing yet annoying all in one.
