My ccomputer is part of a household nerwork. Is someone able to monitor what I do in my computer or the sites I visit?

Your computer knows where you have been, so monitoring software can see what you do, or just look at the cookies/history file on your system.
The router that links your network to your internet service provider also knows which computer is looking at which web sites. If you have a router that can log that information then someone can read that log.
Other than that, some viruses and worms can track you and report back, but you do have a current anti-virus on all the computers on the network, don't you.

There are ways that someone in your network can (if they are knowledgeable enough), but I don't think they can from outside the network as long as you have a secure hdw and sfw firewall operating.

I don't think that any one can see what your are doing on you computer. I know they can view any files that you set to share on the network.
