I know what you mean. (I have five children from 10-20 yrs.) I have to be aware of my laptop time as well.

What a great post. You really helped me put some things into perspective. It was well written and the idea of acting with the end in mind is really important in parenting.

Oh so true …. doesn’t matter what age they are, they become little mini me’s. I often look at my daughter and think ’she looks like her dad but she sounds like me’. I know when I say to her that she needs to turn the TV off and get outside into the sunshine, I’m really saying we both need to switch off and go do something – coz she was on the TV coz I was on the computer, both disengaging!

Thanks for a great post, I enjoyed the read.

I see my kid mirroring my language constantly. I’m not talking about “bad” or “foul” language because swearing never really stuck with me. I’m talking about her saying things like “apparently” and “actually” and “the people that live here are nasty pigs.” (Really they are, they don’t pick up their dog poo.) I have to really listen to myself and think about how it’s going to sound when it comes out of the 4-year-old’s mouth.

I know that’s only one little component of what you were talking about – it’s just the first thing that came to my mind!

Visiting from SITS! I often catch myself doing things that I shouldn’t and then looking at my kids and thinking where did they learn that crap from (and it was from me). This is a good reminder to look at myself and improve my behavior if I want them to improve theirs. Thanks!

I’ll be back later to read some more…I’m liking your blog.

What you have said is so true. I sometimes feel I take my family for granted and it really takes a conscious effort to show concern and not spend most of my time in front of my laptop (yes, I’m guilty of this too!).

Yours is a very timely post. I have been trying to take a step back and focus more on me and making sure to plug myself in more with my family then anything else. It’s not always as easy as it should be but it’s always is worth it. Thank you…

I haven’t ’signed in’ at SITS, sometimes I just don’t lol…but this is an awesome post. It is VERY easy to get sucked in and just sit on this computer all day….but we have to know when enough is enough…or our children will be just what we don’t want them to be.
