As someone already mentioned, "trust, but verify" will be my operational mode. Whether or not I install or use it will have NOTHING to do with how my children will react to my installing monitoring software or whether they will feel "betrayed" by my not "trusting" them.
I'm glad to have it as a tool to help me be a more responsible parent. I'll risk them being "upset" at me, if this helps me keep them from doing something stupid or getting hurt there's plenty of time once they are 18 to do all those wonderful things that their parents-and this software-will prevent them from doing before that time. I'm not interested in being their friend or confidante I'm here to be their parent and to be sure they are doing things smartly (and since their brains will not be fully developed until their 20's, I have serious doubts that their abilities to do the proper thing are a "sure thing" as children. I have absolutely no problem with my children being "upset" because I'm concerned about what they are doing on the internet (or what someone may be trying to do to them).
