Won't this be great, Mom and Dad spend one week a year with the kids and then let them back into the out-of-control routine of computer games and internet. Why not have the family time scheduled every day along with scheduled computer time? Over-reaction and protesting by those who have a good balance will not change those who are the problem. Someday we all will accept responsibility for our own actions and work for balance in all our lives. Until then, I guess let's wait for August. :-) Surfin Steve Moderation and discipline are the keys to success in any activity in life.

You should have seen the flamers I got back!
