I have recently been employed in the Aged Care industry as an assistant nurse (no, I dont look good in a skirt) and I am over the moon. Although I am not making millions $ I am dealing with a wide range of people who each have...

Chuwarbill Sometimes we are not appreciated for the work that we do, but if we keep doing it for the right reasons good things will come. Have a great day!

Hi! I'm Australian and proud of it. But I cant find anyway to let the Mylot community know. When you look at my profile it says 'country: unspecified'. I don't know why its unspecified and try as I might I can't seem to find any...

Chuwarbill Trying to be quick and now I'm 'reponding' and not responding. What's the quote - 'the fingers are quicker than the brain' or something to that effect!!

Chuwarbill Eloquently put!!! You must be quick on the keys as it took about 15 seconds to say you messed up. Never mind and thanks for the advice!

Chuwarbill Thanks for the response. Its nice to know that you can care for your children and not be regarded as an interfering old codger (Aussie term for guy). Have a great day

Chuwarbill Thanks for the feedback. I'm afraid I've missed the mark on being cool and modern, but you are right. My daughter enjoys showing me the latest technology and showing me what can be done with it. Why I even know about ipods and docking stations and such (even...

Chuwarbill I can understand where you are coming from and why you would be wary of parents being friends on facebook. And I will admit it is quite a juggling act at times trying to decide if you should comment, give advice, or just accept this is the situation and let...

Chuwarbill Thanks for the feedback and advice. Its surprising how easy it is to keep in touch with family and friends on facebook. I know in my case I am a pretty poor corresponder of letters or telephone calls (I dont know if this is a male thing!), but I've found it...

Chuwarbill I think its sad when children dont want their parents to be friends with them on facebook. However if the nagging cant be left at home (Clean up your room, Have you done your homework) then maybe its for the best. After all, facebook is the children's...

Chuwarbill Thanks for your response. You are right when you say that you become more aware of what you are putting out into the internet, but in this day and age that is probably a good thing to do. That way your communications cant come back later and give you...

Chuwarbill You seem to be on the right track. Perhaps a suggestion at this stage. Why not introduce your son to facebook through your account, i.e. when you are talking to family allow him to add a comment or speak to cousins etc at the same time. That way you have...

Chuwarbill I'm not sure I like the term prying because it indicates an invasion of privacy. There seems to be a very fine line between showing concern and intruding into personal space without permission. Sometimes its hard to tell where that line is, particularly when...

Chuwarbill To me it seems like facebook is like a big house and there are open areas where we can meet up and there are also private rooms where we can let our hair down and be ourselves without having to watch our Ps and Qs. I only want to meet my daughter in the open...

Chuwarbill To tell you the truth, although I do care about my daughter and would like to know who she associates or communicates with, I dont want to pry into her life. I just want to have some idea of the world she moves in so I can be a part of her life and give...

Chuwarbill Interesting approach. However I might put in a word of caution. Its your right to request those passwords but if the roles were reversed would you like your daughter to see all the computer traffic you engage in? I believe in mutual trust and, its also...
