[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely not.  The only computer is in the den where I can see what's going on, and that won't change even when I have teenagers.  We also don't allow televisions in bedrooms.[/quote]

So what are you going to do when your 17 year old has homework they need to do on their laptop and they want quiet time to work?[/quote]

NP. They are going to go into the family room, dining room, kitchen or another place in the house where it's quiet. But not upstairs.[/quote]

We live in the 1940s vintage colonial, if you are downstairs in the kitchen it's not acquired, there is no family room, the only quiet place Nouse will be upstairs. With the families with similar layout of this do?   Send them to our half finished basement? [/quote]

I'm a PP with teens who don't use computers in their room. We live in a small colonial built in 1937. My kids do their homework in the dining room usually; sometimes they read in the living room. We have a small finished/heated porch off the living room where our tv is, so it's possible to have quiet in the dining room while someone is watching tv on the porch. It works for us, but I can certainly see how it would be problematic if we had younger kids running around. You just have to do what works for your family.[/quote]
