Did anyone see this in today's New York Times?

I know I spend way too much time online, but I don't think I am online enough to have my laptop appearing in lots of family photos. LOL.

The closing lines are: "Does the internet help you get through your day as a parent? Or is it beginning to get in your way?"

Good questions.

Thanks for the interesting link! I definitely started spending more time online because I was basically on house arrest with the twins. After 9 weeks in the NICU, their pediatrician said we should take them out as little as possible. I missed my job, I missed my friends, and the babies basically just slept or breastfed. if it weren't for the internet I think I might have gone crazy! Now they can go out, so I don't spend nearly as much time online.

I started noticing I do the same so I moved the computer to the office, away from where we spend most of our time!
