I'm not reading this thread any more.

Cherry Bomb:
ENOUGH ALREADY!

This started as a heated but controlable debate now it's just getting personally insulting.

Star:
:-k  I don't post here very often my other half is better at that than I am, so I'm not that confident posting now especially on this particular thread BUT I'm going to.

Right, I've typed out several things and deleted them to start again, can't seem to word it right so I'm going for the easy option.....

If you can't think of something nice to say, then maybe it's best not to say anything at all, or if you really have to get it off your chest then maybe do it in private or via email?

Isn't it funny how all clubs and forums go through this phase of acrimony...  the shame is that people end up leaving because they don't like the confrontation, and it's usually the non-confrontational people who leave.

In fairness, I have given far more than I've got when ribbing the Lardy fratternity :)

So, shall we move onto parenting skills now :) I carefully avoided adding that as it was going to only confuse the issue more... but as that seems to be over with, it'd make a good discussion :)

Personally, the Kids only use the computer if one of us is in the room with them or generally around. I have filters setup on the firewall for all the words I can think of (It's a long list) including "CHAT". I also have content filtering turned on on the Laptops / PCs but most sites do not setup a content rating... If they want to take a laptop up to their room, then they leave the wireless card downstairs (Only mine has an internal card at the moment)

I Also look at the "History" and Temporary Internet files on a fairly regular basis just for piece of mind.

Then they go to school and can go on almost any site they want...  :shock:

They are not banned from Chat sites, or internet mail, but we have a control over it so that we can keep an extra close eye on them if they do...  Sites like this and Birty's they read over my shoulder... They both know what "Swear Words" are, but they know not to repeat them too! They get to say each swear word once to me so that they can ask what it means. It's amazing how many of these words I used to use with no idea what they meant!! (Yes, I have had to look up some!) It also gives them a knowlege to use when others use those words in front of them. Bearing in mind the oldest turns 15 tomorrow, I have a fair idea that she uses some milder swearing when she is with friends etc. But she also knows not do use it in front of me, and hopefully uses it in context when she does use it!

She has only slipped up once that I can remember and that was when I nearly rolled the Jeep... The Girly went off to the loos and I asked my daughter if she was okay, to which she replied "She was Sh**ing herself", then she went bright red and coy! Which was dealt with by saying "I don't think you should let your mum hear you say it that way!". So far (Touch wood), she's never done it again :D
