Not all children go behind their parents back. We have a lot of choices. Go with your gut feeling. Good Luck!!

You have two choices: do it for him, and then you can keep an eye on him, or refuse, in which case he’ll figure out how to do it at somebody else’s house. Good luck with it.

Oh, are you going to do it? I have seen a few of my spaces.. and I was schocked at what was and can be put on there. From good kids… so I thought…. So I made a judgement call. NO!! I have two teenage daughters, 15, and 17, and they have no problem living without my space. They never have complained once. One less internet thing to worry about. Good luck Catherine!!

For sure … mostly is is my past technical career coming up to bite me in my ass. He wanted a cool page and asked me to teach him how to create one. Of course if anyone looked at my own Myspace page, it is always under construction, so why he thinks I can make his cooler I have no idea. But in the end I did find him the code he needed to create his “Bleach” Anime page. His real interest is in World of Warcraft. In the WOW community I like to keep a closer eye on him since many older kids help him quite a bit and they chat. So far it has all been about the strategy of the game. I try to give Brian a some room to feel like a boy exploring lands far away from his mother … boys have to be able to do that…
As much as I would like to keep him tucked in one of my pockets…
Thanks Theresa … you remind me that I need to give some more link love, and get over to see your page as well. I will try and work on some link love to all the commenter’s this weekend. You are always so wonderful to stop by here.

So true … and it now seems to be going by faster and faster. When they are three and throwing tantrums on the floor, it feels like we will be changing diapers and negotiating their power plays forever, then in an instant, they are belching and laughing with their friends.
Thank you for your kind words. It means a great deal to me when people tell me that they love the blog. My dream is to make everyone leave here feeling better – with a smile and a light heart – happy that they stopped by. I love laughter – it is my favorite thing next to my son … followed close behind by red wine and chocolate…

lol… yeah the email sign-on to his account is one his dad and I have
access to so we can track the postings and keep an eye on it all from a
distance. His profile is set to private. He is pretty innocent when it
comes to girls.
Already an older (14 yr old) girl emailed him saying
she just broke up with her boyfriend. Brian turns to me and says, “Why
is she bugging me? She doesn’t even have anything interesting on her
page. She probably doesn’t play video games…”
I told him she was probably a “he”. Brian laughed, deleted and blocked her.
So
girls, unless you can tell Brian how to get to the next level in Call
of Duty or how to kill a certain animal in World of Warcraft … Brian
won’t be answering any time soon.
Of course, when he does begin to get interested in answering, just hand me a BIG straw for my wine…
Thanks for the comment!
