They make themselves sound so busy all the time doing all this world-changing work. But where is all that fascinating discovery and thought-leading? <br />Secondly, if I were a parent of a 25 year old who is asking me how often she should blog or email I would say "do you really think I have nothing better to do with my day than tell you this?" At what point do the parents want their own lives and these girls need to leave their parents alone?<br />(In saying this I'm aware that it seems like Geoffrey Botkin, at least, doesn't seem to want to be left out of anything. And I agree that he is scary, and (back to your last post) nobody ever told me my father was scary either.)shelflifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630174727434562898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627300702021032288.post-9722614055439272662016-10-12T14:04:29.331-04:002016-10-12T14:04:29.331-04:00My parents had a few guidelines for internet use w...My parents had a few guidelines for internet use when my siblings and I were still under eighteen. I was the oldest and I wasn't allowed to use IM because fifteen years ago or so, my mom had it mixed it up with chatrooms and she was concerned about my having conversations that weren't private online with friends. Now she uses IM frequently to talk with me. <br /><br />The other restriction I remember most is that they had to have the password to my email account until I turned 18 as a just in case. I don't think they checked it at all, since they're not paranoid and I didn't give them any reasons to worry.<br /><br />I think it's perfectly fine for parents to keep a tab on their under-18 child's online life; the internet is not always safe and it takes time to learn that. However, constantly hovering over them isn't going to help them figure out how to navigate the internet on their own, either.<br />Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479587232733503096noreply@blogger.com
