We don't limit computer use and I've been wondering lately if that might be as bad (for Bam) as television... Willa --------------------------------- Never miss an email again!

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yep. I limit computer use too. I deleted the internet connection from 's computer. If she's going to use it, she's going to do so where I can see everything. The internet is a scary place. And I censor whatever games she's allowed to play.
