The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

regarding the browser history thingy... I stay logged-in all day at work; about 8-9 hours per day. But the browsing history says "4 hours 23 minutes" -- WTF?



(see, I didn't even MENtion the drama!)

GASPS! "there life"? And here I thought you were sorta smart. *runs and cries*

*looks up* if I spank you it might be with a brick!! lol

Omg...don't get him angry...his eyes MIGHT just change..ya never know.

Right on Daddy...wow, what era was that from ? lol

For the first 8 months on MSN she only had one contact ... that was me!

I have to agree with you cause I am the same way... and my granddaughter is always monitored or edited as to what she can do or cannot do on the computer muchless the internet LOL You go my dear.. :)

i know quite a few parents who feel as you do about their kids and the net, i am one of them. my kids were allowed limited net access and only with supervision. my daughter is 11 and so will not be allowed to have any online accounts at all until she turns 13 and those will be closely monitored by myself and her Stepfather. my son has an account here only, at the moment. i read his emails, journal entries and coven posts. i talk with his CM's, ACM's and friends. my presence is felt and known.

there are a lot of kids however who's parents treat the computer as yet another babysitter. they do not monitor their children's activities, does that mean that when a child creates a profile on Facebook, Myspace or even here that they should be allowed to run amok? if you were walking down the street and saw a child playing ball on the center line and a car was coming would you ignore them and keep walking or would you shout a warning, maybe run out and push them out of the cars path? that is what we are dealing with here. children playing with something they do not fully comprehend, the net. needing guidance and supervision at all costs. as an adult and a parent i feel an obligation to all children, to watch over and protect them. to attempt to guide them.

yes it is their choice as to whether they will heed my warnings but i will not be one of those people who stands idly by, believing that their presence here indicates a maturity they may not have. things are not that black and white.

Honestly my boys are monitored on the computer when they are on the net. But other then that they have free reign on their computer. IMy youngest son (12) has an interest in VR and the SFsite here. Maybe in a year or two I might allow him access to this site but not right now. agree with everything you have said here BloodLife, But what do you do when the parent uses sites like these or the internet period to play the baby sitting role?
