Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Spending too much time online?

I got this "BabyTalk" magazine in the mail and in it is an article titled "Hooked Online: Seeking information, community, and escape, new moms are spending more and more time on the web.  How much is too much?"  I read it and thought crikey, I think I'm spending too much time online!  I mostly do it when DD naps, but I'm sure there are more productive ways to use my time.  I think I should limit myself to 30 minutes a day or something.  And I think it's funny that I read that article and immediately had to come post about it online, lol.  Anyway, does anyone else think they spend too much time on the computer like me?

Re: Spending too much time online?

  • DH calls me an internet junky!  Sometimes I have to shut down the entire computer to force myself to do something else.
  • Loading the player...
  • Bah. WTF else are you supposed to do when you're at home with a baby? Clean? Cook?

    DH and I have no-internet nights, and I'm trying to get myself motivated to start sewing again. But whatever, things get done if they need it, whether or not I waste time on the internet...

  • It would do me some good to spend less time on-line.  Definitely.
  • I was spending too much time online so now I no longer log on in the evening or on the weekend. This said, I probably still spend too much time online.

  • I know I spend too much time online.  I am on the internet throughout both of his naps (probably 3 hours?) every day, and then also I'm off and on in the evening when DS is down for bed.

    But I can't clean while he sleeps (he is too light of a sleeper) and there's not much else to do.  I would rather be on the internet than read books! Wink
