Can I WATCH and IGNORE the same cache?

[+Inmountains]

I live in Colorado and my parents live in California. When I go visit them, I usually help mom hide a new cache or two. A couple of examples are "The Recession Rolls On" and "Howard Blake TB Hospital." Since I helped hide them, I like to watch them, getting an email about each finders log. BUT, I don't want them to show up on my searches when I am trying to find "unfound" caches around mom's home. Also, I don't think it is fair that I count a "find" for them either. Or is counting it as a "find" acceptable in "Caching Ethics 101?"

Yes, you can watch and ignore the same cache. I know it sounds strange.
