    Spying on your child?...

    I started out having electronics out of the bedroom but as they get older it becomes much more difficult. She knew what to steer clear of online - has heard all of the speeches, has seen the stories in the news where unfortunate things have happened to others when they got involved with...

    Spying on your child?...

    LOL! I like the candy crush comment. I really do not know much about key loggers. I am just trying to make sure I monitor her activity as much as I can. The last thing I want is for her to be on the news as one of these teens who met up with someone they've been talking with on the net. I'm...

    Difficulty with teenage "stepson"...

    Higher Education...

    Agree! My husband has been passionate about flying since he was a small boy. After high school, he wanted to pursue this and his Father had the same attitude this Dad has and it really discouraged him. At this age, kids need to be supported by their parents. Point out his good attributes and...
