ORIGINAL: Calandra You know, I've been wanting to say something to that effect, but couldn't find the words... I have several email accounts (each for a different purpose - one for family, one for junk mail when I sign up for stuff, etc etc) cubby and nomi know my passwords... when I'm in pain and bedridden for a few days, I'll ask one of them to log on and see if anything important is posted, etc. I usually have nothing to hide (except surprise scenes, or birthday parties, etc - why I said usually). If I am hiding something, I simply tell them not to log onto my accounts until further notice, and they trust me because they have a REASON TO. I also know cubby and nomi's passwords and am allowed to log on wherever they go (if I feel the desire to)... Now we're each dynamic individuals, and have different interests... cubby loves anime and hentai... nomi writes fanfiction/slash, and creates tags/avatars for people... sometimes they call me to their computer, or ask that I log onto various places they visit, because we SHARE our lives. If I was concerned that one of them were doing something I wouldn't approve of, I'd feel justified in looking for it... but see, that is built into our relationship from the foundation up... we are so free and open that it's exceptionally rare for one of us to hide anything... I can't imagine living in a relationship where I cannot trust nomi and cubs... I just can't. It's this way at our house, too. Because of the size of our household, and the fact that we have many newcomers, financial information is kept "sacred" -- only the core Free have access to the passwords for the house accounts, and truly, only one of us does much with them. Other than that, everything is above-board. Everyone knows when we're vetting people, everyone knows when we're openly looking, when we're closed to new participants because our hands are full, who we're corresponding with, what we post to boards -- no secrets. Especially because I have MS and an immune disorder that, when it flares, leaves me at the mercy of the household, everyone -has- to know what I'm doing, what needs to be cared for, what needs to be checked, which of the Temple accounts need to be checked for responses, etc. Not only that, but I wouldn't feel right in welcoming people as family and then having to hide things from them -- it just isn't our style.
