I despise both of them

Do you allow your kids access? If so, how do you monitor it?

dd is 13 and she's not allowed to have either yet... if and when i do.. i want passwords or it will be deleted. i will try to respect her privacy but if anything fishy is going on, i will check. i will let her know this before hand...

my daughters computer time is limited, she can be on for about an hour a day.. on the weekend a little longer.

Networking sites have never been ok in our house. I thought my DSD understood this, until I found out she secretly made a myspace and was accessing it with the computer in her room. My DSD is not allowed on the computer anymore. I pick and choose my battles and at this point in the game, myspace and facebook is not up for discussion.

My 2 older girls have an email address, but I won't let them on any networking sites until they are WAY older.

MySpace and Facebook is not allowed without my email address attached to it. He really isn't into it though right now. He is 10. I will be patiently waiting for the day though.

I love a child with autism!

Find me @ cs.yuku.com!

My oldest is 10 so just club penguin and webkinz and this point. I agree though that when he wants an account, I will get the passwords and tell him I plan to read whatever I want whenever I want. Online stuff scares me.

There is a program called e-blaster that I bought for $99. It monitors every key stroke that my dd (15) makes on her computer & sends an email however often you want. It records all im conversations, emails, web sites visited. Well worth the money in my opinion! Of course you have to know how to pick your battles!

I will invest in that too! I wont let Austin have either yet.....she is begging but Im not ready for her to be out there just yet..........I wont let her have a computer in her room yet either........my mom wants to buy her a laptop for Christmas but I have told her that unless our cousin comes over to restrict all sites other than the few I will let her visit then I wont allow her to have it..........the internet is a very dangerous place IMO for young kids/teens........

Her dad set her up an email account but I wont let her check it unless Im with her because she will open virus/spam emails...........

She has a cell phone and can text and IM her buddies at anytime or call them.........so I just dont feel sorry for her that she cant surf the net

She also has XBOX 360 LIVE where she can play online soccer and skateboard with anyone in the world so I just feel like right now she has enough on her plate to be happy with............

My oldest is just 5 right now, so MySpace and Facebook are still a ways off for us, but not near far enough I'm afraid. He LOVES computer things. He's got a club penguin guy, and is a little grumpy that I set it so that he couldn't chat. (Well, he can sort of chat.. only choosing from a list of phrases, nothing that he types in.) He knows that's just how it is though.

We (hubby and I) have talked about it a lot already though. We'll be having the computer in a public area, and when he is allowed an e-mail of his own, we'll have the password as well. Same with any message board, or other networking site. We'll restrict what we need to, and we'll have a keylogger.

Mom to Jess, Sam, & Liv!

Sam has myspace and chats online. I have her passwords so I'm able to check on her, etc. There's been a couple of times I've had to discuss things with her...nothing too bad, mostly her friends leaving curse words on her comments, etc...and I've had to tell her to ask them to not do it or if she finds them, to delete them immediately. As long as she doesn't totally abuse the privilege, I'm okay with it. It's when it becomes a problem that I'd have no problem yanking her access.

I have deleted Kylie's myspace before but she went and created a new e-mail address and a new myspace page

I really don't like what goes on there

Even if it is blocked, somehow they find a way around it

Austen has just now got interested in youtube... but he is still very boyish and mostly just watches sports stuff....

I have awhile before I have to deal with this as my oldest is only almost 5....

That being said, We allow Delainey on the computer but she is very monitored while she is going on there... she is REALLY good about if something pops up etc she calls us right away etc....

Momma -
I think she has an idea that it's there. It runs in the background & when we installed it, we named it like "windows update" or something so that she wouldn't be able to find it. It will not show up on her computer where you can install/uninstall programs.
Like I said, I skim through what goes on. I can forward you one of the sample emails that it sends if you're curious. Like, if she's saying "my mom's a *!$!$...blah blah..." I expect that's normal teenage drama & I don't say anything but when I found out something a bit more inappropriate was going on, I had to say something. KWIM?
Most of her friends just think that if they send stuff w/bad words it will get to me.

So if they type one, they'll go "hi lynne"
So, while she may be on to me about the IM logging, it does other stuff that you can set up like forward emails to me, record myspace & facebook activity etc..

Both of my oldest have both.

To have an account on either, I have to know your passwords, if you don't tell me or change it and don't tell, no myspace or facebook.

Our computer is in the living room, so I see everything they're doing

BFP Bound!

Remove this ad

Kayla is 14 and has a Myspace. I'm on there too so I check on her. I also have her password and check all her inbox and sent mail! That's where the good stuff is!!! Also, her friends add me as their friend and I can see which "friends" are the bad influences.

Honestly, it's about trust. She curses and has some pics I don't like, but as long as it isn't really bad I leave it. She deletes when I say delete and her friends who put up vulgar sexual remarks, I email them and they delete their comments for me!

Me ~ 34 DH ~ 35

DD ~ 15

TTC Since 5-04
9-28-04 BFP
11-8-04 M/C & D/C @ 12 weeks
Low sperm count & motility
