I know the feeling... It's like solitary confinement. :sweat:

Also I have to put up with complaints from 3 children who can't do their homework research or chat to their friends :(

It's sad to think about how much we rely on the internet. There is life beyond it.

you need to start complaining to THEM about how you didn't have all this easy access to information like they have, and that they should appreciate it more.. and just drone ON AND ON AND ON... then suddenly talk about during WWII, you had to walk across the 30miles of bush just to get to the local library...

that'll teach'm!

I've tried that..... they just zone out.... :hehe:

I should play them that Monty Python sketch where one of them was talking about how hard it was in the old days to buy a house...

"You think you've got it bad? We had to save up for 50 years for a deposit on a bucket of mud.... amd it were second-hand mud..." :rofl:

:lol:

and when they want a ride, give'm a pair of coconut shells and tell'm to ride there themselves.

:rofl:

I love that movie.... where they go into a long discussion about how a coconut got to England, and different types of sparrows :)

On Topic: My own laziness. >>sigh<<

Perhaps but I think it is most likely that he knows Id be bored by a bunch of drunken Scandanavians........ :hehe: :hehe:
But he wont admit it..... :hehe: :hehe:

OOps!! :doh:
I guess that is mixing love and friendship......

It looks like, in your case, that it's just he doesn't want to loose your respect. :sweat:

Is he working for you? I try to keep young punks in school when they seem hell-bent on self destruction. There's only so much you can do before you realize that mebbe they have to learn their lesson the hard way.

My 16-year-old son announced the other night that when he leaves school at the end of this year, he isn't going to work or study. He's going to practice guitar for the next 2 years.

We put him straight on that pretty quickly ;)

LOL! Why did he decide two years? And I mean... you can practice while going to school... :sweat:

Apparently, his guitar teacher did the same thing at the same age.

Now he's a 32 year old guy who still lives with his parents and has no other skills. Says it all, ne?

Also, my son reckons that school and homework don't give him enough free time :grumble:

And I'm sure you pointed this out to your son. Not that I'm bashing those who chase their dreams, but it's always a good idea to have a back-up plan...
