Over half term, DP and I had the week off work and, as I had a horrible cold (always the way at half term), I ended up spending about three days in a row curled up on the sofa with copious lemsips and my macbook. Obviously the majority of this was spent mumsnetting - so much so that I seem to have developed a huge addiction to the site and have lost myself in thread after thread about dodgy MIL's, etc...
However, last night after work, I came in and picked up the laptop and oldest DS (11) immediately asked to play a game on it. Not wanting to give it up just yet, I said no and he started complaining; "you're always on mumsnet - it's not fair!" Blah, blah, blah...
So, I guess what I'm asking is this: Was I being unreasonable to tell DS that mumsnetting was my second job and that I needed to go on the computer to "stop the trolls", as I work from home in a "MNHQ" type role nowawdays..? I obviously said this so I could keep on reading my precious bollocks in peace and not be bothered by my pre-teen's own obsession with minecraft, or whatever it was...
I'm a bad, bad person aren't I?
