Children will eventually get to an age where they will want more privacy. They may keep themselves in their rooms for hours on end, making their activities within those four walls a mystery to those around them. 

That lack of transparency has led many parents to stumble upon some of the strangest items in their kids’ rooms. They shared their discoveries in this Reddit thread from more than a decade ago, and the discussion remains relevant today. 

People opened up about finding women’s underwear stuffed in a pillow, wet diapers, and books glued to the window, among other things. If you’ve had any similar experiences, we’d love to hear about them in the comments!

Woman looking shocked and covering her mouth, representing snooping parents discovering unexpected sides of their kids. I thought my mom was going through my room, so I set up my webcam to record on motion.

Sure enough she was rifling though everything. Eventually she opened a drawer and found a very realistic looking d***o (It was really water gun that I got as a gag gift).

She inspected it and had the most terrified confused look on her face.

She stopped searching my room.

I was invited to a friend's birthday party and was instructed to bring a gag gift. I bought him a ball gag. He and his wife thought it was hilarious. Some of the other guests, not so much.

    She brought it out when she asked her grandma if they could make pancakes and they didn't have any flour or eggs. She was 4 years old at the time.

    Two hands tying a white rope against a dark background, illustrating unexpected discoveries by snooping parents. When I was about twelve my parents freaked out and almost made me go to a psychiatrist because they found a noose in my room. I was not s******l. I just had some rope and was bored and wanted to see if I could figure out how to tie one. It took me forever to convince them of that, though.

    As teens, we used to make nooses of ropes, because we thought it was edgy. I am so glad that social media didn't exist back then, because now only we remember how cringy we were but it isn't out there for the whole world to see until eternity.

    That reminds me of when my mum found my brother's collection of knives (pretend) stashed in holes he cut in the carpet! She was a bit concerned he was obsessed with knives and would soon take real ones to play with. He just wanted to hide things like the pirates in the books he read. (She definitely wasn't happy with the damage to the carpet either!)

    As she tells Bored Panda, parents must first and foremost approach such situations with curiosity. Asking questions like, “Was it something the kid discovered on their own?” or “Did someone else introduce it to them?” instead of assuming that you know what’s going on.

    The picture accompanying this story would give me uncomfortable feelings on it's own as well... You see, i've always been a bit of a tomboy, but unfortunately for me, a bit over 10 years ago, Hello Kitty was all the rage for girls as old as i was back then, and my mom kept forcing me to wear clothes with that theme even after i had told her i don't like them. So yeah, i think it's safe to say that Hello Kitty has been nothing short of a childhood trauma for me.

    For licensed marriage and family therapist Jason Aaronson, it’s about finding the balance between knowing what’s going on and maintaining the child’s personal space. And if the said items don’t constitute danger, Aaronson urges approaching with nurture, not judgment. 

    “It is better to lower their defenses and provide them with the space to voice their opinions. A good example would be framing a conversation without mentioning the specific object in question,” said Aaronson, who is also the executive and clinical director of Golden Road Recovery.

    Close-up of traditional katana swords on a wooden rack, metaphorically representing kids’ hidden sides uncovered by snooping parents. I am actually the proud father of quadruplets (four girls). A few years ago when they were 7 years old i found a small selection of rare katana swords, elite combat knives and ninja throwing stars in a shared walk-in wardrobe belonging to two of my girls. The swords were mounted. It was an immaculate collection and actually looked pretty amazing when i look back but at the time i was confused and disturbed. Now none of the girls have shown any proclivity towards traditional oriental combat techniques, whether armed or unarmed. They enjoy dance, socialising and One Direction. All the girls deny any knowledge of how they got there and it remains a mystery to this day.

    Embarrassing a child about your discovery is also a huge no-no, according to Crawford. Instead of giving lectures, she advises keeping conversations short and neutral.

    Woman with gray hair and purple highlights making a surprised face, illustrating parents accidentally uncovering a side of their kids. When I came back from college I slept in my old room which is now my parent's office. Every morning bright and early my mom or dad was in there and began clicking away on the keyboard like a cat pawing at a mouse. One day two of my sisters came in as well to check out something on the computer with my mom. Then my dog came in and stuck her nose in between my mattress and boxspring and pulled a weeks worth of fapkins out and starting eating them. I thought my mom was going to throw up.

    The OPs - the office reference is just to explain why random people were using the room. I had to look up 'fapkin'. What's weird is that, knowing lots of people would be coming in and out, he'd just stash them like that. I mean, the smell, if nothing else...

    Me too. Pick up rocks, not 46 anymore. I pick them up to use under plants on their saucers and at the bottom of plant pots. I sometimes use them on top of the soil to look nice, prop a stem or two aside or just because. I say I’m going to paint some but haven’t gotten the acrylics, paintbrushes, and rocks together lately.

    I had a rock collection as a kid, I'm nearly 40 and still occasionally collect pretty rocks and seashells, they sit in my plant pots making my houseplants look extra pretty. My 6yr old nephew started collecting rocks when he was 18mnths old, he now has a huge collection (200+) he loves to wash them and rearrange them on their shelves, he always insists on taking a handful into the bath with him, it's so cute.

    Children may reach a point where they explore “weird” stuff as a way to fulfill their curiosity. But where does a parent draw the line between “this is typical kid behavior” and “this is a cause for concern?” Crawford says it’s when you begin finding “unidentifiable things” that may potentially cause harm. 

    “If it makes you pause, then absolutely trust that instinct. Nothing is stronger than a mom’s gut,” she said.

    40 Nosy Parents Who Got More Than They Bargained For While Digging Through Kids’ Rooms My daughter (now 5) has a habit of plundering the bathroom when she's supposed to be sleeping. We've found every container of: makeup, toothpaste, soap, shampoo. But the worst of it was the nail polish.

    She raided the nail polish, opened all of maybe 15 bottles and covered herself in it. It was completely covering both arms about to the tops of the biceps. She had smears of it on her face, stomach, back, legs even in her hair. It was all over the floor, the cabinets, the bathroom door handle, her room door handles, a trail on the floor, a big puddle on the hardwood floor in her room and a big puddle on her night stand.

    When she was still in diapers, she figured out how to take them off herself. She took one off and smeared poop all over the walls.

    Another time about that same age, she covered herself and all her toys and bedding with an entire pound of Vaseline. She did the same with a whole pound of Triple Paste. Except that time, she added a stripe around the entire perimeter of her room.

    Hey lady, apparently you don't know about child locks. Been around for a few years, can buy them in most hardware stores. Take a hint. Your kid can't be trusted to use common sense at this young age, which means you have to do the thinking. Give it a try. Before she gets into something that poisons her.

    Have these parents never heard of child proofing? Either lock things like this away securely or store them in places kids can't reach (cupboards or shelves that are placed high enough that they can't reach.) Also how often are they leaving their young child unsupervised for long periods? I know kids can be fast but some of this stuff would take way more than a couple of minutes for a child to do. I'm not an parent but I have 16 nieces and nephews who occasionally visit my flat, i always store anything potentially messy or dangerous in a secure place just in case they visit and never leave them alone for more than a few minutes without checking in on them.

    “We don’t need to touch a hot stove more than once to learn that it’s a bad idea if you don’t want to get burned,” she said. “It’s when you take over, jump in, and try to live their life that makes them more curious and want to try more risky behaviors.”

    I found a bunch of boxes of tampons under my son Louie's bed once.

    Getting ready for the apocalypse

    #37

    Not a parent, but I live with friends that have kids. I had recently moved in and the then 4 year old boy was a bit of a secretive klepto. things would go missing only to turn up in his room later; one such occasion was a vibrator of mine that he stole out of my room. From under my pillow. He got a talk about other peoples things.

    He also stole my cell phone around midnight one time and managed to call my very recent ex and hung up on him. Ex calls back, kid hangs up cycle repeats for 30 mins (what the ex told me). I woke up the next morning with no cover on my cell and a very worried ex; I of course was totally oblivious to his midnight calls. Later that day found my cell phone cover in his room after the kid denied having taken it in the middle of the night. He did have enough sense to put my phone back on my bedside table though.

    Luckily he's much better now and has for the most part stopped stealing.

    Glad he's over it. A friend's tween got into the habit of taking what wasn't hers...to the point where Mom and Dad's room is locked, there are cameras everywhere, and all guests are instructed to zip up their luggage and keep their purse/wallet within eyesight at all times.

    When he realizes the Unholy Trifecta of what a vibrator actually is, what it is used for and that it was his mom's, he might need some serious therapy.

    "No, I am totally over my ex! Calling him 50 times at night when I missed him but was too scared to speak? No that wasn't me, that was... uhm.... a kid who stole my phone!"

    When I was a kid, I loved to cook, but wasn't allowed to use the oven when home alone. This didn't stop me, one day I was making garlic cheese biscuits (like at Red Lobster) and my mom called to tell me she was coming home. I panicked and hid them in a ziploc in my backpack. A couple weeks pass and I get grounded/royally bitched out for having "d***s" in my bag. She showed my dad, he said, "It just looks like a moldy sandwich" but she was CONVINCED they were D***S!

    I have it on good authority from Dr Benjamin that moldy garlic biscuits are prime medium for growing Psilocybin, that crafty little devil.

    I read it as having dícks in his bag, instead of drúgs.

    When I was in high school my mom snooped in my room and stole both my vibrators. We never acknowledged it.

    The police stole mine out of my car when they searched it. There was nothing else to find.

    A few months ago I was in my 17 year old daughters bathroom because the main one was occupied. Realized I didn't have any toilet paper so I starting looking in the cupboard under the skin and the drawers. Opened one drawer and found her vibrator. I just left it but told her I knew about it.

    What a stupid mom. There is nothing wrong with teens enjoying their body and sexuality. Using toys is a way safer thing than having séx with a person, toys don't have risks like pregnancy and STDs.

    And also at least the toys are designed for that purpose and the kid isn't just using whatever random household objects they can find

    One can stay in celibate. Nothing wrong with it.

    I found a notebook underneath my baby cousins bed, it had very advanced Calculus written all over it and neither my Aunt or Uncle knows Calculus.

    EDIT:My baby cousin is a girl, stop saying "him" please.

    Sexism bait. OP was totally waiting for the first chance to include that edit, and I'm willing to be it had quite a positive impact on the vote count for their post.
