[quote=Anonymous]Nope. The "family computer" is in the living room/study. It's by the window on a large table where the kids can spread out their homework, use the computer (for homework and also sometimes for fun), and keep papers filed neatly when they come back from school. It's like their office desk, but in a shared family space. There's a direct sightline to the screen from the family room and from the kitchen table, too. In our house, kids do not have an "expectation of privacy" when it comes to computer time. They've never expressed any issue with it. No complaints or requests to have it in their room. That said, if the kids were to keep a diary/journal on the computer (or on paper, for that matter), we of course would respect their privacy and not read it! But where they go and what they play on-line is an open book. Having the computer in a shared space helps with that. [/quote]
