dont'cha just hate it when your 14yr old knows more than you with regards to pootah stuff????

[psychomum5]

I couldn;t email invoices for DH

yet DD1 could

I cannot wait till my boys are in charge of IT in this house.

DH is absolutely clueless so I am left to deal with everything.

Counting the days till I can go back to being clueless.

ooh, never thought of that in that context.

yup, tis a Good Thing in that case.

Me too in the feeling old stakes. Downloaded a game tonight to try to entice my ds 11 to spend the evening with me. He wandered off after about 10 minutes saying that I was too slow for him!

captain, kick-in-the-teeth-feeling???

I know the feeling

i helped ds set his home page,
a few days later i didnt know how to set mine

he did it for me

oh yes
dd's (sn) ict teacher was tellimg me it would be hard to set some software up, I said I have a teen

2shoes, we had a letter from DD1's ICT teacher at xmas praising DD1, and then she ot a school merit (high regard thing from the school that goes into their record).........she is pretty good at pootah skills.

shows us up somewhat tho does it not??

Oh I can sympathise with this. And I used to work in IT too. Hmm.

It's okay. According to the times, you're kids brains have developed differently to yours because of pootah exposure from a young age, and that's why they find it so ridiculously easy. Great excuse to make them do everything!

I use it as excuse that I don't have to do any "techie" stuff - why have a dog and bark yourself.....

Can you all then feel my pain - 12 year old DS with SN, no speech, huge delays etc etc frequently changes settings on computer for me and I have to ask him to change it all back because I don't know how. Plus he knows how to make the DVDS in our house loop his fav scenes and changes the screen size so he only watches part of the shot by magnifining it IYSWIM.
How DO you do that?

oh pag, I feel you pain on that.

he is one clever lad!!
