Well apparently my mom questioned my father about my computer use , I use my computer sometimes before I go to work and after I come from work . This week when my mom was at home she only comes home for two days a week . I went out on the town and did some shopping alone . So when I came back home I didn't start using my til 10pm and we spend all night trying to connect my dad 's printer too it and for some reason she has a problem with me using it . I spend most of my time online because my real life sucks well just my real house life . So I go online to ecaspe it now my mom has a problem and is asking my dad what I do online and all that crap . Plus my dad was upset today because he was still trying to connect his printer to my laptop and I had to get something in my downloads but it had pictures that were bad not pornographic but like my favorite yuri couples and anime art of girls kissing so I shifted it from my dad's view and now he's mad and he's questioning me . I don't get why I can't use my computer after work I'm 25 years old and being treated like a damn child . I really hope I get to leave soon what the hell is wrong with my parents :tantrum:
Sounds like what my parents used to do. o_o It got to a point where they would actually want me to play video games over being on the computer...and I didn't think I was really on THAT much. Though it is odd that they're treating you like that and you're 25 years old. You're an adult who isn't on it 24/7. If you were I can see why they'd be concerned, but you said you only go on it when you're free. I don't know what to tell you for advice. :| But I do feel for you, and I'm sorry they're treating you like this.
It's your personal computer right? They shouldn't have any control over your computer. When I lived with my family still, no one was allowed to touch it but me. Of course when I still lived with them if I made my dad mad sometimes he would ground me and take my computer. When he did that he would try to use it, but since it's password protected he would ask my siblings if they knew the password. They're guesses of it were never right luckily though. My dad would often get annoyed with my computer use too so he would find any reason he could to make me get off of it. So much so that I couldn't even be on my computer around him because he would ALWAYS complain if he saw me using it. He would always say "You're so fat and stupid because you're always on that damn computer." of course, that's nice compared to some of the things he's said. But anyway, I understand. Is the computer completely yours? And if so, they shouldn't have use of your computer if it's yours. If you bought it, they shouldn't use it. I recommend password protecting it.
Yes it's mine . they don't use it but they ask me to do stuff for them on it but what annoys me is my dad will try to when I go into something personal to stare up at the screen . He even said are you hiding something from me and even jokes about how he'll find out what I do on here. I'm mostly here and a few other sites or playing my rpgs . ---------- Post added 20th Mar 2014 at 09:08 PM ---------- they did this too when I was a teen but I hardly use the internet back then and my mom banned from it for 2 weeks . I didn't even use it a lot back then either I only used my internet on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays .
Yeah they need to mind their own business because they can't handle it me being a lesbian and all :rolle:
If they are not real big computer users themselves ... I can understand why they do not understand... Me, I am on it all day at work and 3-4 hours in the evening On my smart phone between home and work And now!
My mom uses an Ipad and stays on it 24/7 my dad uses his phone 24/'7 too my mom can use the computer but my dad can't but I don't let them touch it My mom even uses tango to talk to people and constantly always want me to tango her on and to be honest I don't want to talk to her even for 2 seconds she's also was addicted to skype
If your dad is concerned about what you do on your laptop I'd probably put something awful on my background with the words 'serves you right for looking over my shoulder' on it. I actually do this with my laptop because I hate people at uni looking at my screen. If you want I can send you the picture I drew for my background - it's two disembodied vaginas having a tea party. It gets a lot of chuckles from folk that sit behind me in lecture theatres, haha. Regardless, I'd tell your dad that privacy is a big deal because while you might not be doing anything he disapproves of, it's still possible for you to be embarrassed by him seeing what you do on there. The internet can be used to find advice on medical issues for example, and maybe you don't want him knowing you've been looking up what a mysterious spot down-there might be. Or maybe you were looking for information on dealing with your period... or something else that might make your dad feel a bit grossed out. As for your mum - tell her everything today can be done on the internet, from shopping for gifts to reading the news. You chat with your friends, you research your interests, look up movie reviews, listen to the radio (yay internet radio!) maybe you find recipes for dinner or look up places to eat when you're out. The important thing is that it isn't impacting on the rest of your life, it's complimenting it. Good luck with that diabolical printer, and your parents!
You could create a guest account and only use that when they want you to do something or if they ask to use it. That way your stuff stays private and they won't be able to log in to your personal files. That's what I would do.
If you set it up right it should. Maybe do a little research? They won't be able to open files without the right permissions, and you can make things non-viewable. I have never had to do it myself, but it shouldn't be too hard. ---------- Post added 21st Mar 2014 at 10:20 AM ---------- System administrators do this all the time. When I was a lab tech at an animation/video lab they had it set up that way. ---------- Post added 21st Mar 2014 at 10:23 AM ---------- Then you can sit back and laugh at their frustration of not knowing your password or what you have on the computer. It should be very satisfying!
Mine gripe about me being on-line much at all. Thanks to my older bro who got caught on line looking at porn and chatting with his gf's and showing off his bod with some g-rated pics. Now because of him I am not allowed a vid cam or even a mic.
