wireless internet

Freaky Cat · 06-12-2006, 01:45 PM

dont know if it was repost? but what the heck?

What would you do if you went to restaurant and it have wireless internet .. would u bring your laptop to the restaurant with your kids ?? you use laptop to go online.. while eating.. and kids eating.. ?

personally i think it show lack of value to kids that if u are online on laptop meaning ignore them and go online?? What happened to spending time with kids and talk to them how their day were?? its suppose to be a family time?

What do you think????

I don't have any kids, so I just go ahead and use my laptop. It would really depend on who you're with and what you're doing, I guess.

No. I would like to spend some time with my hubby and children instead of spending time on the laptop. This is a no no for me.

Good questions, I can't eat and surf at same time. I brought book and laptop with me to go out. My kids eat first. When they finished their meals first, then they can talk, read, surf, or social. I hate to have my foods and drink on my laptop. No way. It can ruin or damage to laptop when drink spills on. Eat together family first, finish meals, wash their hands, and then enjoy.

When we finished our meals, and then my daughter asked me to surf the internet. I told her to wash your hands first so she could surf on Disney.com while my son and I talked together

If I am at a restaurant alone with my laptop, then I would surf the internet there. But if I am with a friend or my boyfriend or kids (if I had kids) or whatever then I won't surf the net, I'd rather use the time to spend with whoever I am with.

If I was alone maby while wait on food but if with others probably not unless they got one out and ignored me.
