Hello,
I dont know if its only me or people here are also on the same boat.
Ok, sometimes whenever dad has to go somewhere and couldnt find his cellphone he ask me to give my cellphone to him. :(.. wth???!?!?! is he try to spy on me? there are number of sms’s i receive from number of people , some include ( adult kinda jokes if u know wat i mean ), but u know, the moment he takes the cell till the time he doesnt return it, my heart beat is always up.
Why do desi parents not let their kids have their own privacy ? like seriously!?!?!
Im not saying anything against my dad or mother, but c’mon you know how it feels to give ur cellphone to someone else , dont you?
WHATTTTTTTT should i do?!?! i cant delete all txt’s the moment he wants my phone, nor can i delete all the dialed number or received number history from it
Why does he ask? how can i say no? wth should i DO!? :@
Just don't leave anything on there that may offend your dad? Always be prepared to hand your phone over at any given time - e.g. delete any silly txts friend send you once you've read them.
Or you could buy a phone for you mum or dads birthday and tell them to just use that as their emergency phone when they can't find their own!
^^ as i said, i have nothing against my dad. Hes caring, loving, and everything a dad is suppose to be like. I love him very much. And no, hes not an 'old man'.
Anyhow, is buying multiple phones the only option for me?..
Um that's just my way of saying your dad. Anyways what else can you do? A phone is not like a computer where you can create two different usernames and switch to the other one whenever you want to give it to your dad. Niether can you keep on deleting stuff. How about a cheaper option?
Yea, Alhumdulilah everyone in my Family has their own mobile phone... Well if they forget their phone at home, or can't find it... They just leave it, but never taken mine tho...
We'v got ths lovely place(table/mobile stand type thing) at home, where we all keep our phones. And we'v got chargers connected to that switch 24/7, its jus soo easier to charge mobile too. Basically my dad's really into phones n stuff, and MashAllah cz of him it gets easy for us :)
And yea, as Aisha said how about a cheaper option..? we all have our phones, plus we'v got 2 really cheap phones too,jus in case we run out of battery, we use those :)
LOL what if your dad can't find the emergency fone either? This switching fone thing happens in our house ALL the time, but I really don't care because my parents are not that tech-savvy to actually go into my messages and read them all. And even if they do, they'll never say anything because com'on its my friends! And if its something that you KNOW they'll notice, just delete it right after reading. Also, change your fone settings so it doesn't save anything in outbox while sending txts.
The other idea I like here is pretend that you can't find it and look very upset about that. It's only gonna work a few times though.
If you got nothing to hide . then whats the worry ..
and this privacy thing .. come on ... like i said ... if no ones got nothing to hide .. even if there are some half baked humourous adult jokes you d hav an answer for .. and nothing to hide .. even numbers .. and your not doing anything hoky poky that yuour parents supect you of .. then whats the worry ..
yes y do things u hav to hide later on? he's ur dad. wat is a phone afterall. don't forget the time when u depended on him n ask for his stuff. i found ur prob ur own creation. i would never care if anyone in family wants my phone unless i got stuck in emergency of some kind. i gav my phone to my bro for one whole yr when he couldn't afford one.
Delete your ‘adult’ texts? Keep your phone clean? I don’t know.. if my mom/dad needed to borrow my phone for whatever reason, I don’t think of it as a big deal.. infact sometimes if I know they won’t have their phone on them, I give them mine so I can know where they are or in case of an emergencey etc (haha I sound like their parent now ). I don’t think I’d care if they read through my messages or whatever either.. and my phone’s always lying around anyway
I think you should calm down, clean your phone and you might find your not too bothered if your parents ask to borrow it? Or maybe you should look after your dad’s phone so well that he always finds it when he goes out?
A cell phone is a privilege, not a right. For some, it is a necessity. But that is not for social reasons; rather for safety reasons. Outside of safety issues, children and any dependents do not have the right to have their own cell phone for private use (that is true even if they pay for it themselves). If you have one, then lucky you. But again, do not confuse that privilege with a right.
Your father asks to use your phone because he trusts that it's not a big deal. He figures he shares with you all he has, so you would do the same. It's not about invading your privacy, it's about sharing in a family.
I suggest you limit your use of the phone with the knowledge that it belongs to the family as a whole.
amazing how adults with kids n single ppl hav diff prespective on same issue. i think today's generation is spoilt n ungrateful. they use their parents all the way to adult hood.. And once needs r fulfilled n they r grown-up they start acting like watever they hav they earned on their own n parents need to back off after all these yrs of giving, sharing n caring.their job is done n they did no ehsaan watsoever.
U can always lock ur txt msgs, pictures..pretty much everything on most phones.. if ur able to do that on ur cell then keep them locked. that way, whenever ur pops needs ur phone, he wont be able to access all that stuff u dont want him to see.
if u cant then as others said.. delete ur txts as soon as u read them. Keep ur phone clean.
lol - everyone in this world has so much freakin tension. Even a non-bill paying junkie
listen dude - if your lovely dad asks you to borrow the phone then big deal! Just be prepared for some belt treatment once he finds out your PRI-VA-CY matters if they are adult rated.
). I don’t think I’d care if they read through my messages or whatever either.. and my phone’s always lying around anyway
