I found (3 past their teens now) that 2 simple things pretty much kept 
life manageable.

First, we kept the computer out in the main part of the house.  We didn't 
have to hang around watching everything that they did.  But, since the 
computer was in the dining room someone could walk by at any time without 
warning.

Second, I asked my kids 1 simple question.  Do you have any doubt that if 
I wanted to I could find what site you had visited?  Of course I had the 
advantage, like others here, that my kids knew that I spent most of my 
life working with computers.

Just knowing that I could probably catch them if I wanted too, and where 
the boundaries were, was enough.  IMHO, there's no need to spy on the 
kids, just being around, letting them know what the limits are, and that 
you really do have the power if you chose to exercise it, is enough most 
of the time.
