Yeah, it's part of the reason I'm so good with IT. My stepmom was the systems engineer, and I had to figure out ways to get around her blocks and hide my tracks.

Strict parents raise sneaky, cautious, and paranoid kids.

Which would make sense that my IT career led me to cyber security. But really she wasn't strict since I didn't live with my dad and the only time we ever really interacted was when she helped me upgrade my GPU to play Phantom Menace (still funny I pre-ordered it, but it took months to get it working right), their house just had cable Internet while my mom had dialup until I was a junior in highschool.

My real mom is the reason I'm sneaky and paranoid.
