I have to post this, before my daughters reprimand me again for using the laptop for a long time (read: long time as in more than 15 minutes).
First, there was Facebook, now babytv.com was discovered. I am officially left to do nothing but read a book or just take a nap or be a referee while they argue about who's going to do what or who's going to go first.
My desire to have my own laptop now is much more intense. How can you compete with their desire to learn the shapes, colors, numbers and letters or check if their pet is doing fine or their restaurant is clean? Emphasis on the word "their" it's as if they have their facebook account. And they are still 4 and 2.....what's next? It has become a daily routine for me and has come to accept the fact that this can get more often and the time when they won't bother me anymore is about to happen. I don't know if I should feel happy but the knowledge of my girls getting busy with these "gadgets" is scaring me sometimes. Am I introducing these things to them too early? How can I stop them from getting addicted to it? A lot of questions and only time can tell but for now I am happy that they allow me to watch them while they do what they do....even if it means waiting for my turn in using the laptop.
