Today at Parenting: Brave New Web.
Boy I’ve been slacking on blogging lately. I figured I should write about where I’ve been lately… And in case you didn’t read it before, I’ve been Facebooking.
As much as I love Facebook and the Internet, technology scares me. I worry it will be one of the wedges in my future relationship with my kids. For example, when I have to call them and ask them how the hell to turn on whatever futuristic gadget they have gifted us and then demand to know why I need it. And start every sentence with, “You know, back when I was your age…” etc.
At what age will I be over the learning curve hill? Is it going to be apparent when they know more about technology than I do?

ryc: thanks for the encouragement =) I’ve been feeling a bit out of whack due to the stress and just feeling overwhelmed with everything.
hey old lady!

bye!
I agree. Though I am far more behind than you, as I’ve never understood MySpace or Facebook’s draw. I underSTAND them, I just don’t see the draw or reasoning behind them.
Gosh, don’t worry. i’m really suckered into facebook too. it’s toooo addictive. I’ve had to curb myself and try not to open it when I’m at the office!
I love new technology, keeping myself educated and informed. I think I’ll do a pretty good job of keeping up with it so that my kids don’t outsmart me that much. hehe The Mister is a physicist, who will always keep up as well, and may be harder for A and B-chan to outsmart.
