Okay so I guess I wanna touch on a subject that always makes me see red. When parents ignore their children. I have this one friend who is constantly and I mean constantly on the net yet she has a four year old son who to me seems to get the short end of the stick when it comes to her attention.
I mean gah I don't have kids but if I did I definately would not be spending all my time on the internet. I'd be spending time with my kids and doing stuff with them. The internet can wait but your kids can't. They grow before you know it...and obviously you were given them for a reason. Whether they were planned or not God gave you that kid to love and care for not neglect so you can be on the internet for all hours of the day.
Maybe I feel so passionately over this is because my mom is the same way. She is always on the internet. She is addicted I would say. She doesn't think she is but everyone in the family pretty much knows she is and I guess I don't want another kid knowing what it is like to have one of your parents not pay you attention because they are so addicted to the computer.

That upsets me too when parents put other things above their kids. They grow up too fast to ignore them and once they are grown, people will wish they had spent more time with their kids.
Always a good reminder to be aware of time spent on hobbies and chores and the like--it can be so easy to habitate the same room but to not be interacting...
Great post!
Blessings!
I'm so very glad you stopped by today and commented. Great post. I can definitely see how folks can get sucked in by the internet. Especially for us bloggers...there's always a new post to read or a comment to leave. Even though I don't have kids, I can neglect my husband and my friends by spending too much time in front of a computer. Thanks for the reminder to walk away and work on cultivating the important relationships in life!
