[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is interested in writing, animating, movie editing, programming, games, etc...Was thinking about having DC's computer in their room. Would probably prefer having the computer in the family room but we also have a 5 year old who enjoys bothering the older sibling.

Mom of teens:  NO NEVER

Your kid will not be 10 forever and creating new rules is near impossible.

Electronics are not allowed upstairs in our house, since our kids were little.  I cannot even try to imagine if they were allowed and I needed to create that rule now with my teens.  Compliance would be hell.

fyi studies also show kids do better if they do homework at the family table.  it's less lonely and they won't stop doing homework and go to fun websites (games, or porn, etc) when they hit that math problem they can't answer.  They'll yell "mom/dad, what's x divided by y squared?" instead.[/quote]
She didn’t say it was for homework.
My kids do their homework at the kitchen table while my husband makes dinner.
Computer is in their room. They like making YouTube videos. But their YouTube channel is locked down so only family and very close friends see their videos.[/quote]
