So my step son has come to live with us. He is 20 and I'm 34 (his dad is 44) its been great so far, we get on really well and I've loved having him around. He doesn't have many friends or a girlfriend and spends all his time in the House on the pc.

Anyway last night I got out of the shower and his dad got in. As I was drying my hair ( sat on the bed with the door closed) I saw a shadow under the door and thought ity was my cat, but then what looked like a mobile phone appeared between the gap under the door. I just sat there like wtf is that.

I didn't say anything and I couldn't move. I haven't said anything to anyone because the more I think about it the less I'm sure. But I looked at the back of his phone later that night and it looked like what I saw under the door.

I'm so unsure what to do, I don't want to mention it to anyone but it's made me feel awful. The more I try and think about it the more I'm unsure but when I saw out I definitely thought it was a mobile.

Help!Confused

hide a nanny cam in the hallway?
next time - unfreeze and catch him in the act

That's a good idea, but it's a really narrow hallway not sure where I could hide one 🤔

Open the door and ask him what he is doing - watch him squirm. It's not a SS problem, it's man with no boundaries problem.

Ewwww, not a pleasant experience! If I were you I'd say nothing this time, but watch him very, very carefully, if you see anything remotely weird, jump on it straight away. If the mobile comes under the door again, either jump up and grab the door open, or stamp on the phone!

Thanks all I've been extra vigilant!

Disagree with waiting for next time when he might have naked pics of you on his phone. Get his phone!

I'd also look at reducing the gap under the doors. That's huge
