My girlfriend and my kids say I spend too much time online. Does your family say that

    My girl and kids always complain about how much time I don't give them. I try to explain to them that, I don't want to work in a warehouse for the rest of my life.

    I only make $100 or so a month online so I know if I was making more money they would shut up!
    I have several sites that I administer daily and I'm always learning something new, that captures my attention for days.
    I tell them if they don't stop complaining I won't buy them anything when I get rich. LOL :D

    But anyway, does your family complain about how much your online?
    If so how do you handle it?
    Thanks!

    I also think that I spend too much time online and my family thinks the same. :D

    They keep telling me and I still keep doing it. But its not good for health and family ties. So, we should try to strike a balance between time spend online and offline. :)

    No, my family members never complain about that. Actually, when I stay at home, usually I get only 2/3 hours to surf the internet. I spend most of the time at office and stay connected to the internet. During the break I pass a nice time in DP. Anyway, I surf internet less than 4 hours!

    well, the hardest thing for me is to explain to my parents what i'm doing sitting all day long in the front of my pc..they're kinda people who actually doesn't really care of the word "advanced" technology. And unfortunately, they consider internet as an advanced one.. `sigh`

    I get the same thing from my hubby - my 15 y old, not so much. I guess it would help if I cut my hours a bit, I work from 6 am to 1 am daily!
