Obviously I'm not at MoParMan's TOISHDAB level -- but what does one do with

Jesus Christ, Mr. Schrumpf. Since his problem
seems to be an online addiction that is interfering
with his doing his homework, have you "pondered"
enacting the simple rule of not letting him log onto
the computer at night until after his homework is all

Sheesh.


haha....I don't think it's a coincidence that three liberals(me, you,
and aaron) have said exactly the same thing on how to handle this
parenting matter.....it's common sense.

That the historic definition of liberal for me, than you very much.
