Renita You can, but you might be required to install parental controls on any new device.

"Install parental control on the phone you bought with your own money"
"no"

So?

Renita Property like real estate? I think it's different topic.
If you are talking about stuff, you can't hide it too long.

But I really have to believe that a 40+ woman isn't, in the rare case she have to, able to hide something to her mother? Something as easy as a phone?

        Tasha if more rhan 10 tabs are open I get overwhelmed.

        Not 10 browser tabs, most of windows are terminals to servers, including this one

        Renita Because you can use your phone from anywhere and not just from your workplace

        And that's exactly what I try to avoid

            When living in the same house and the mother doesn't believe in the daughter's right to privacy? I think it would be possible but extremely difficult.
            Of course, if you are in this situation, you have either failed to establish what I would consider the bare minimum healthy boundaries for a parent/adult child relationship or you have opted into a non-standard parent/adult child relationship like Renita has. Also, my understanding is that she doesn't live with her mother, so it would probably be much easier for her to hide a device from her mother if she were so inclined than in the hypothetical we are talking about.

            Regardless, we should probably get back on topic or move this discussion to the thread on parental controls, since it isn't really relevant to @Tasha

                Laura

                No tinted windows?

                New Jersey, Vermont, and New Hampshire also do not allow any amount of window tint.

                  it is not about hiding, it is about setting boundaries and declaring your own stuff off-limits to them. Facilitated by your own security setup, if necessary.

                      It's not my case. At least because I live in another place.

                      I don't need to hide it.

                      youdontknowme it is about setting boundaries and declaring your own stuff off-limits to them

                      If you let your parents put on a chastity belt, you can't talk about setting boundaries anymore.

                              Renita If you let your parents put on a chastity belt, you can't talk about setting boundaries anymore.

                              There is some truth to that, but it kinda proves some of the points @Milord has been making.

                                  youdontknowme "unability to set boundaries"
                                  I will add to my list of what's wrong with parental belting

                                    Renita If you let your parents put on a chastity belt, you can't talk about setting boundaries anymore.

                                    You don't have to give up control over everything in life to your parents

                                        Renita If you let your parents put on a chastity belt, you can't talk about setting boundaries anymore.

                                        It is only on you to what you agree. In the end you can set boundaries for every topic if you want it. The open question is if your really want it?

                                          Tasha You don't have to give up control over everything in life to your parents

                                          That's why I'm asking how about you and relationships in your family.

                                              Renita If you let your parents put on a chastity belt, you can't talk about setting boundaries anymore.

                                              well, but parental control on a mobile phone/laptop is something completely different. an adult can buy their own mobile phone at any time and do whatever they want with it, their parents don't even have to know about it. @Tasha has her own business and can certainly always buy another mobile phone financially if her parents come up with such ideas, but go to the locksmith and ask for a spare key for your chastity belt ...

                                                  Renita what are you asking me ? I don't see ant questions in your messages. Or have I missed them by any chance?

                                                      Angelina if the parents are evil, there is always the nuclear option of bringing the authorities in. I don't think my parents would ever do anything of that sort. As I mentioned before, they are really good parents, except for the belt.

                                                        Tasha what are you asking me ?

                                                        How far can your parents go if they take off the belt in the car right before arrival?

                                                        Angelina @Tasha has her own business and can certainly always buy another mobile phone financially if her parents come up with such ideas

                                                        It's not about money. She must agree anyway. And it doesn't prevent running the business.

                                                        Angelina but go to the locksmith and ask for a spare key for your chastity belt ...

                                                        But she doesn't do it. Then what's a difference?

                                                                Renita She must agree anyway.

                                                                I agree to it because I chose to.

                                                                  Renita How far can your parents go if they take off the belt in the car right before arrival?

                                                                      Laura Okay so i logged on from the desktop, much better than the phone UI. Maybe I should start using the desktop for this task too

                                                                                Laura go for a sleepover

                                                                                I am not a party person so I haven't went for any late-night parties. I have travelled alone from different venues (when I was writing exams) at night, stayed at a hotel with friends too (although this was not really planned - we didn't have a means to get back home due to a protest happening)
