No matter how old your children are, you must make sure they are safe.
Parenting is the most difficult thing especially when kids are in their teenage. It gets the hardest to make them understand things when they are in teenage. A single dad, who has three kids, took to Reddit to share his situation. His oldest daughter is 16 years old and works. OP’s iCloud got screwed up so he was getting his kids’ texts in his inbox and his texts were going in his kids’ inboxes. OP is a cool dad and never opened his kids’ texts. One day, he saw a suspicious text so he opened the thread. It was OP’s daughter’s texts with her friends. They were planning to sneak into marijuana, alcohol and molly. OP scrolled up and his daughter was planning to wear inappropriate clothes. OP thinks that his daughter is too young to do drugs. Scroll down to read what OP did next.
