Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Ya’ know, I’s a young kitteh so all this tech stuffs has been ‘round mine’s whole life. Catputers, cell fones, tablets and such are normal sights fur me. But mommy talks ‘bout a time when she didn’t have any of these things. I’s can’t ‘magine what life would’a been like without at least a catputer. But sure ‘nuff, mommy says there was a day when nopawdy had these necessities.
Raena, what are you meowin’ ‘bout now?
Fones and stuffs, sissy. You know that married at furst sight show we were gonna sign mommy up fur gave all those couples a challenge the other day to let their new spouses look thru their fones and all their messages and stuffs. Seems several of the men didn’t want their wives goin’ thru their fones. They claimed it was an invasion of purrivacy. And mommy said those girls oughtta run fur the hills. Mommy said that she ‘members when nopawdy had their own purrsonal fone to carry ‘round with ‘em, and any call or letter came to one address/home. Husbands and wives shared a fone, and didn’t make calls or send messages in secret, lessen they were doin’ somethin’ they ought not be doin’. So, it got me to thinkin’…
Oh MeOW You were thinkin’?
Sissy, that’s not nice. You better take that back or I’s gonna tell mommy. You won’t get any treats lessen you be nice. You know the rules, treats are fur good kitties.
Fine Raena, me’s sorry. What were you thinkin’?
Fanky fank ya’ sissy. I’s was actually wonderin’ ifin any of our furiends felt the same way as mommy? We don’t have a daddy, but I’s sure ifin we did, mommy would wanna know who he might be callin’ or sendin’ messages too; ‘specially ifin he had his own purrsonal fone. And why is it okay to keep secrets t’ween married peeps? We don’t have any secrets here. Mommy tells us everythin’ and we meow to her everythin’ too.
Well Raena, me doesn’t think secrets are okay in any relationship. Then again, maybe that’s why we don’t have a daddy?. One of those men from the show told his new wife that the minute she went thru his fone, they were done. You heard mommy tell her to run. After all, what could be so “purrsonal” or “purrivate” that his wife couldn’t see it?
Yep sissy, when he said that, I’s fur sure wanted to know what was in there.
Me too Raena. Mommy says, ifin ya’ wanna make a girly suspicious, that’s the way to do it alright. Maybe it’s a good thing we didn’t get mommy signed up fur that show. Any man who comes into our lives aren’t gonna be able to have any secrets.
That’s fur sure sissy, we meow ‘bout everythin’.
Yep Raena, that we do. As fur that trust stuffs, it has to be earned. Even then, it should be okay fur husbands and wives to share everythin’, includin’ fones.
Psssst Raena, can you keep a secret?
I’s agree sissy. So, what ‘bout ya’ll? We wanna know what all of you think ‘bout this topic and keepin’ secrets t’ween married peeps.
And kids too, Raena. Do ya’ll think it’s an invasion of purrivacy fur your spouse to go thru your fone or fur pawrents to go thru their kids fones? Inquirin’ minds wanna know. MOL
Oh sissy, you’re too funny. Well, guess we oughtta wrap it up. All this meowin’ ‘bout trust and secrets has mine’s head spinnin’. Let’s go play.
Till the next time……………………………………..Be Blest!!!

Me and Mom agree. It can’t be a marriage if the two main purr-ticipants keep secrets from each other. That can just lead to purr-oblems that have the potential to become bigger ones. We think it is OK for parents to “monitor” their kid’s cell phone usage, depending on the kid’s age and if they have given their parents reason not to trust them. But we also think that cell phones are given to kids that are too young. As a pussy cat, I purr-sonally wish there weren’t cell phones, ’cause humans spend way too much time on them (talking, gaming, internet shopping, texting) – time that would be spent better with us cats fur sure!

You got that right Valentine. Cell fones have played a huge role in the breakdown of communication t’ween peeps in general. We could do with a lot less technology and more face to face/fur inneraction. Big hugs

Like your mommy, I also remember when we didn’t have computers in the home or cell phones. It makes no sense that a husband or husband-to-be would get upset if his wife looked at his phone. Seriously. What’s is he hiding? I trust my husband implicitly, and it never even occurs to me to look at his phone, but he wouldn’t care if I did. Sometimes I go on it to look at his pictures. I agree with you and the commenters that there shouldn’t be secrets in relationships.
You two are just the cutest in your pictures and your conversations!

Everyone are entitled to dere privacy, but if a guy got too weird and secretive bout his phone – it are a BAD sign. He are probably cheating.

Husbands and wives still deserve some privacy. But you should never put anything in writing that you don’t want anyone else to see anyway.
As to kids – it was a horrible idea to give young teenagers cell phones. It gives the parents no idea WHERE their kids were or WHO they were hanging out with. It was much easier when there was just caller I.d. And a house phone with voicemail. Then if my son wasn’t home by his curfew I had his friends numbers and the other kids parents to call to get an idea where he was. Cell phones should not be given to kids until they are responsible enough to check in at home and not keep secrets from the parents. Unfortunately many homes today do not have land-lines and only have individual cell numbers. It’s too easy for a kid heading down the wrong path to hide what’s going on.

Yep, all these purrsonal fones is the reason we wrote this. Sure peeps are entitled to their purrivacy. but, what’s changed that makes a husband and wife no longer need to know who the other be communicatin’ with? Fur centuries, peeps didn’t have their own purrsonal fones and a lot more marriages lasted a lot longer. As fur the kids…They shouldn’t get a fone till they are grown and can pay fur it themselves.

Married folk should not have secrets. Although one must trust their partner to a certain extent. Men tend to be quietier than females anyhow but keeping secrets is a recipe for disaster.
