How many of you sit at your computers while your children rome freely and the only attention they get is you yelling at them for this or that?And when you finally get up your frustrated at them couse you had to get up and so you yell even more? Or when you get off here your mad at them becouse theyve made a mess like you exspected them to do the oppisite and how dare they?
Do you do this kind of behavior alot?
Do you feel you need to prioritize you time ,attitudes,and actions,reactions?
Are the points and levels on here more important then other responciabilities?

Absolutely not, my children are far and away my highest priority. If you can't stop yourself from yelling at yours because you want to play on the computer, switch the damned thing off and only use it again when they've gone to bed. The points you get on here will be worth a great deal in ten years time when your kids are resentful towards you for the time you preferred to spend arguing with strangers around the world. Get a grip.

I don't have kids but I have sit in front of the computer and totally neglect my duties as a wife and my husband gets quite upset when I do this. He never yells, he has this real calm voice that tells me I'm in trouble but it's not what I'd call negative attention it's just lack of focus. Usually when I do this I feel guilty and try my best to make it up to him but there is still this feeling or pure let down.

The ONLY time I come to this site is when I'm at work. I have internet at home, but on my days off, I spend time with my family. Quality time, not time griping and complaining because someone interrupts my online time...I hate the TV for that very reason. People just throw their kids in front of cartoons all day so they can selfishly go on with their life as if they don't even have children.
Sad, really....

The only time I get to actually spend goofing off on the computer is when it is slow at work. Yes, I could ignore my kids and play but I choose not to. They need my attention. Occasionally, I may have to do some banking and when that happens I explain that I need some time to do some work and help them get occupied in something before I start. I would never get angry with them for interrupting goof off time on the computer. But as I said before I do not goof off on the computer when my children need me. That is neglect and bad parenting. It definitely sends a message to them that they are not important to you.

I don't think your are being judgmental. I do know also of many mothers that neglect their children either to go out with their friends or like you said play in the computer. A fact is a fact. But please don't think that all mothers neglect their children. I feel this is an outlet for me to post my opinions and to try to help others. My child who is twelve is sitting right here, right now, playing with her laptop and watching TV. So you see people, Mothers, do find time to do what they want to do and still watch their children. Just now she asked me a question I turned to her and answered it. I will put it this way, don't judge me and I will not judge you. Are we friends now?

No, the points on here are not worth that. I personally have a very, very small house, and my children get my attention when needed. I have no problem walking away from this awful box when they want me or need me. You make a very fine point and brought something to my attention. Other people actually behave that way? Thank you.

I have to say a big no to all of the above. My children are old enough that I only get to use the computer when they are done. I usually answer questions at work on my lunch hour.

My kids always come first !!! Before Yahoo, before my needs. I get on the computer when they don't need it.I only yell at them when their rough-housing gets a little too much! If your parent/s act like this it's wrong and I'm sorry you have to deal with their behavior.

I think there is a time for everything. You have to prioritize. It does not matter how busy you are you have to make time for everything. Don't take it out on your kids either, make space for them to. Think before you act. You might do or say something you later regret. Take it easy. If you can do whatever you are doing later then postpone it to a better time.

Wow, it's like you're in my house. Everytime I sit on here drinking beer and smoking my weed the damn kids get into everything. the 3 year old is always getting into my porn collection, and the baby keeps chewing on the gun i keep in the kitchen drawer beside the great big knife. Although they usually calm down after I smack them around a little bit.
Can i get some points here? 'Cuz the little brats are whining again, and I told them they can't eat anythin' til i make the next level.
