[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 344978, member: 805"] [SIZE="3"]I've been giving this some thought. I know that the computer, internet, mp3 players, electronic readers, smart phones, really are the stuff of our kid's generation. It's part of their life and what they use to stay in touch and tuned in. However, given your son's troubling history with the computer - I was not aware that you were court ordered to remove internet access - I would be very leery about giving his access too quickly. Perhaps this needs to be an earned privilage. And, rather then having him pay for wireless so that his laptop can be used anywhere in the house, wire him up to your station (get a router where you can use two cords) so that he has to stay right there in the general open area to use the internet. There is a smaller possibility of abuse and temptation when you know mom is working next to you or could be walking by any moment. You two could have your desks right there together. You can be working and he could be doing his homework or messing around on the computer. k, did you get that contract job? Sharon[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
