children demand internet
Guest post from: Mohamed Simon
My children always think I am behind the times. When my oldest went off to college, she was exposed to having the internet all the time. Her dorm had internet access, the classrooms had internet access, even the cafeteria had internet access. She informed me that if we didn’t get satellite internet access at home, then she was not coming home. To me, it seemed unreasonable. Her father and I are working very hard to send her to college and she is demanding things to come home and see us. I didn’t take to well to her demands. I think mainly because I didn’t understand why anyone would need something so much. After we both calmed down, we were able to rationally discuss everything. I am actually beginning to see my daughter’s points. I never thought I would say it, but she might actually need the internet. Apparently, all of her school work is online and all of her friends communicate online. Once she presented all her points, my husband and I are actually considering it.
