Children Concerned By Parents' Web Habits
praps writes "Children are becoming increasingly worried about their parents' Internet habits, according to a report just released in Sweden. Unsurprisingly, dads surfing for pornography is the most common problem, but chatroom addiction also featured in the report — as is a mother who has become obsessed with World of Warcraft. 'This summer she has been sitting up all day and all night and she forgets what's important to me,' wrote the woman's 13-year-old daughter. 'And when she's not at the computer she's like a lost soul. She just looks straight ahead and says nothing.'" There are also a lot of scammers out there who like nothing better than to find retirees who they can sucker into get-rich-quick schemes involving real-estate, stock options, and convincing the neighbors to be part of a "downstream" for MLM marketing ploys.
The WoW thing could be bad... depends on whether she's chatting/enjoying herself, or whether she's actually addicted. The Dad surfing for porn thing is normal though.
Have make sure my 9 year old son making dinner for the wife and I. Back in a minute.
Are your children worried about your slashdot trolling?
Mine are increasingly worried that I'm turning into a Slashbot. I'm not sure why.
Well, anyway, I, for one, welcome our new Slashdot-trolling parental overlords!
In Soviet Russia, children worry about YOU!!!
