Do you browse/chat on BubHub/internet sites whilst your kids are awake?

[Hollywood]

I kind of have a 'rule' that unless I'm sitting breastfeeding DS (with my laptop on the sofa beside me for something to do), I don't go on the computer whilst DS is awake, unless I have to urgently pay a bill online or quickly look up a phone number.

I just feel like I'm ignoring him and neglecting him if I just sit there on the computer, so I don't do it. Obviously I have to do housework/cooking/etc whilst he is awake, but that stuff just has to be done and quite often DS is trying to 'help' with that stuff anyway. Otherwise he just happily plays whilst I do the necessary things. Then at other times I play with him or we go out for a walk (we walk every day, once or twice both with and without the pram)

Do other people kind of have that sort of rule too?

I have a big chair that rocks in front of the computer so i breastfeed DD while i bubhub and rock her there sometimes if she is unsettled and i need to sit down - then when she drops off i'll browse for 10 mins before i go put her down.
Otherwise i'm on here when she is asleep.
The rest of the time i am busy doing other things ie looking after bub, cleaning etc.

Yeah pretty much, even though the boys are too little to care at the moment anyway!

[confusd]

yeah,
while DD has lunch i bubhub (she refused to let me help her, so i just sit next to her)

if she is playing with my parents i "chill" on the computer

or we both hop on. she loves looking at pictures on facebook. and when its raining we go onto knee bouncers

I don't really check the net when DD's awake,it's usually a quick 2-minute look to check mails or responses to posts on bubhub .I try not to be on the internet when she's awake because I don't want her to be a laptop-tv-playstation kid.I want her to be a person who'd rather spend time outdoors/play with toys.

Not generally no.
More so because now she is so demanding and wont let me sit down for more than 5 mins.
Also she wants to play with everything, especially the keyboard and my laptop, she has already broken my mobile phone. So if I dont want her playing with our computers then I just dont go on.
I like spending the quality time with her any way.

sometimes, but mostly only while DP is home.

[Nowhere]

I do when DH is home so that he wil play with her, If I am in the room then she wil only play with me KWIM, but i do other stuff firist

I log on sometimes during the day when Miki is sat next to me colouring and doesnt want me to help her, As she wont let me leave her side to do anything else lol

Do i think I am neglecting her by doing so NO i do not, If any one else thinks i am wel they can come over and take a look for them selfs how much time I put into playing and therapy and loveing my DD, She likes me to sit her wheelchair next to me and colour, I certainly not on here all day but for 10 minutes here and there KWIM


A majority of the time I am on here however is when she is in bed at night but that is also done in blocks of however long as she if up on and off all night when she wakes i go and cuddle her or do what she wants me to do until she falls back to sleep

So yes but not for a long time

Oh and lol if everyone bar me on bubhub only logs on while there kids are sleeping and NEVER logs on when there awake then you guys must have some great sleeping babies lol

[LilMissnBoo]

Nope. I only jump on here if DD is having a nap or if she is down for the night.

I pop on and off throughout the day - I usually have the computer on and when I walk past I'll hit new posts or check the ones I'm subscribed to. Other times DS and I check out things together - we like to look up animals and also videos of India on youtube. I do more browsing when both boys are asleep though.
