do your parents have an e-life?
i mean probably nothing as bad as playing habbo, but do you know if they post on any forums or other communities? can be dating sites too.
my mum used to go on this forum that was a mix between a dating site and forum, went on a few dates and met up with some of the ladies on there. don't see her on them anymore but i know she checks out mumsnet quite a lot now, weird to think she might be posting about me on them.
No not really, they play bingo and my mum uses Facebook, Slimming World site and Sun Perks, but that's it. They don't know how to use the Internet half of the time lmao.
no
my mum is the sort of person to type in 'google' in the google url bar to get to google
Nope lol, my dad doesn't even really know how to work a computer. As for my mum she plays games on facebook, that's about it
They only really use Facebook, I think my mother has a secret Twitter account though, she used a different name and everything.
My mum seems to be in a perpetual state of "checking her emails" whenever she's on the internet and my dad uses it for learning new things and is an active member of the bodybuilding forums lol

My mother definitely uses a forum to do with a hospital where she gave birth or something like 30 years ago, she's has a facebook and a Twitter too but in all honesty she's not that great with the Internet and I've spent countless hours making guides for her on how to use it. Although, she's started recently messaging me quite a lot from facebook
They only use social media as far as I know
Oh my father is on plenty of fish as well which is hilarious
Is she a catfish?Quote:

My mum has facebook and uses that frequently to catch up with whatever her friend's daughter's friend's girlfriend (some obscure nonsense like that) is doing.
My dad uses torrents and downloads films. that's pretty much it.
my mum and dad both use facebook and my mother has the tendency to share everything and add 'Shared xx' to it. like lame ass quotes or competitions where you share to wim handbags, make up and what not. it's handy because she has quite a big family all over the place so she can keep in touch with them, wish she only used it for that though
yh my mum has used the net for about as long as I have!! she used to big into fb games but not anymore and she uses yahoo messenger, and my dad is just really learning to use the net now so just general browsing from him. Tonight he was looking up youtube tutorials of how to cut a pomegranate pmsl.
My sister does that sharing thing, so annoying. Even my mother is always moaning about my sister doing it hahaQuote:
