Parents 10 commandments for 2008

1. Do not let your children talk to you in a demeaning way, especially when they use cursewords doing it.
2. Do not let them password protect their computer and not let you know it.
3. Do not back down from them when they're confronting you and getting in your face over you trying to wake them up at 3pm in the afternoon to get the password from #2, especially if they're jobless and are only on a computer using P2P programs all day long (Or warcrafting.)
4. Do not let them use myspace.com if they're under 16, xpeeps.com (The pr0n industrys' myspace) if they're under 18 (21 in some areas,) and keep a lookout for sites like xtube.com and pornotube.com (YAY FREE pr0n!)
5. Make them watch Disney's Goofy Driving Lessons cartoons when they're learning how to drive.
6. Yes people are out to get your children online, no you aren't crazy for wanting to protect them, yes you are annoying when you demand that I do it all for you, yes this would cost you around $150 for in house support from a pc pro, no you aren't paying me to do that much for you. So don't give me heck when I don't have the answers for you.
7. Do not give your child a cellphone until they've had their drivers license for a year, and then, only give them one that can dial 911 or your number, and no text messaging. Also make sure it doesn't have a camera on it.
8. You don't want to know what your kids are doing with that webcam and their IM's. So don't ever give your kids a webcam.
9. If you don't keep up with technology yourself, especially that which your children know and love, you will have many misunderstandings with catastrophic consequences.
10. Don't let your children study in America
