Digital Mothering

Geek_guideHow many of us moms rely on gadgets to grow the kids? I'm not sure. Yes, I have a cell phone, which I use for business so my mobile office makes me feel less guilty whilst standing on the soccer field sidelines cheering for my kids instead of working on behalf of clients. Other than that, I don't use a digital calendar because, quite frankly, I don't know how to get our WLAN working. So we've resorted to the paper kind you get for free at year-end when companies unleash their marketing tools to the kitchen walls across the nation.

Or PDA's. Nope, don't use one of those since I sold my Palm Pilot for a song on eBay.

But I do use a GPS when I drive my husband's car. But that's usually for business because my driving radius for the kids involves jaunts to the grocery store, athletic field or occasional stray friend's house who forgot where he lives and thinks lunch at our house is cooler anyway.

So I don't mother digitally. I wouldn't know how. Does hiding the remote control from the children so they limit their TV viewing count?

Weigh in. I want to know.
