a_byrne22 wasn't overly surprised: "So how are parents supposed to take more interest in what their kids do online then? Have a round table discussion about what they did on the internet before they go to bed every night?"
Somebody call the therapist... tell them we can move past Ballmer's bottom.
"The internet should be part of everyday conversation," reckons paulzolo. "Not letting kids use the net in private as well may be a good idea. So, no computers in bedrooms."
And somewhere a million 17-year-old boys weep in vexation.
"The school day and what homework [needs doing on the] internet along with other internet interests are part of normal conversation in this house between us all," points out mrstevenrogers. "We talk more about the internet then any television program that is on or shown."
And on that image of familial bliss, we're off to try and wreck a few marriages. See you all next week.
