I love visiting with my parents but....

Sometimes they argue about the silliest things.   Currently it is about computer usage.  Dad says mom is on the computer at least 5-6 hours a day.  Mom says it is more like 1 hour a day.   Personally I am pretty sure Mom's estimate is the more accurate one.   The argument got heated because Dad disapproves of all the email jokey things my mom received.   Mom on the other hand thinks it is because dad resents her having friends.   Dad says it is all about protecting the computer from viruses.   Now they are sitting in the same room but ignoring each other.  Oh the tension in the room is charming!

    While visiting, you can sit at their computer half the day and have BOTH of them pissed at YOU.

    Problem solved.

    It can't be fun seeing your parents mad at each other.

    ha ha, good advice Julie! :)
    It was short lived tension, thankfully. They've been married for 50 years and haven't killed each other yet!

    Perhaps they should each have a computer. They could become friends on fb & messenger. They might find some new things about each other!

    My dad is very old school. He believes computers should be used only for work. Based on several comments he made to me regarding my time spent on the computer he clearly disapproves. My parents only have one computer but while I was home my dad started talking about getting a netbook for my mom. He is obsessed with worry about my mom's friends sending her email jokes that contain viruses and if she had one of her own maybe he'd lighten up. LOL
