to not want porn watched on my laptop

[uikol]

My 15 year old brother babysat the DCs last night so me and DH could go out for dinner. I was using my laptop just now and in the web address drop down bar, a porn address appeared. I looked in the history and last night he went on a porn site(he did access it long after the DCs will have gone to bed). I'm really not happy and want to tell him not to do it but DH thinks its hilarious and not a big deal says that giving a 15yo access to the internet always leaves this risk and that I shouldn't mention it.

I would not let him use it again

YANBU. Put a password on it. Aside from anything else he's 15 and I doubt your parents would be happy if they knew you knew about it and were turning a blind eye?

YABVU its not the end of the world is it, particularly if the kids were in bed.

BertieBotts - That what I think I'm going to do

YANBU It doesn't matter if the kids are in bed or not. If you don't want porn watched on your laptop then you have the right not to have it watched on your laptop.

I imagine most 15 year old boys watch porn if they can access it. If it makes you uncomfortable,put some security on it.
Oh & I'd give the laptop I wipe with some antibac! :o

I wouldn't be concerned with the porn address popping up as much as the implications of it. I'll bet he wasn't just watching it... In your living room? On your sofa? Bleurgh.

I'd be more worried about someone wanking in my living room than what website they were looking at.

I'd just tell him 'I know what you did last night'. You're his sister. It'll embarrass the crap out of him and he won't do it again.

Oh yeah, you could always go the embarrassment route

YANBU. It's your laptop, not his. He can watch porn on his own.

I impressed upon my son that, should he view any porn, that could have consequences for my job should anything go wrong and the family computer needed to be looked at by police (slim chance of this, but hey, it did the trick!)

He now has his own laptop/ipod touch and he's 16. I don't monitor what he does but the bulk of it seems to be Football Manager. If he's viewing porn, that's up to him. We've had the discussion about it portraying a largely unrealistic expectation of sex and to consider whether the participants are happy about what they do and whether they're parents would be proud of them...

their< duh

I would tell him I knew, and that I was disappointed he did that when I trusted him with my possessions. I'd also tell him it wasn't appropriate to do while he was babysitting. I would then put additional security on my laptop so that if he tried it again in future he wouldn't be able to.

It was very nice of him to agree to babysit for you, but that doesn't give him some kind of get out of jail free card for watching porn on someone else's laptop (and possibly wanking in your living room to it? I would hope he had the sense not to go that far!) While it's not the worst thing in the world I would consider it a very disrespectful thing to do.
