10 days as a single parent - Days 4-6
It’s the weekend!
She’s off to a friend’s house for the weekend so no parental duties for a few days. And just when I had got used to this whole lunch making, homework doing, dinner cooking business. But even though I may not have seen her for a few days, didn’t mean she wasn’t right here with me, because every few hours I’d receive another text message letting me know what she was up to or just saying hello. Definitely sweet and nice to know she doesn’t hate me yet, but more importantly, it’s again all about shared experiences for her. If she is already developing these habits before she has reached the world of Facebook, imagine what the status update will mean to her when she is of FB age? While it’s hard to predict behaviour in 4 years knowing that Facebook as we know it will be very different by that time, it’s safe to say she will already have progressed past a simple “I was here” status update, to an advanced comfort level in sharing unlike what we have seen so far.
So what will privacy and barriers mean to her?
