Do you argue with using the computer?

There is only one computer in my family. I like using coputer, so does my hubby. Sometimes I argue who using the computer with my hubby. Now, we decide I use the computer in the day time and he uses it at night. Did it happen in your life? How do you handle it?

My boyfriend works third shift so it usually isn't a problem. He sleeps during the day so I have all the time I want on it and then at night time he is on. Kids just don't get it unless neither of us are on and if we decide to get on the computer we just boot the kids.

Oh, I see. It's up to you that who uses the computer. lol. Then you don't have the argument with your boyfriend. Do your kids cry when you boot them? oh, poor kids,they have no family status.

Since I have several laptops at home. So we don't have to argue with using the computer. But sometimes we will borrow to each other's computer for a while as we don't want to turn on all the computers. I love China

Hello sunny friend. Both my wife and I have a computer of our own, so there is no problem for us with the use of the computers. I am glad that there is conflict with us. I think that it is a good compromise of yours to share the computer this way. Enjoy yourself, friend.

That's good for you two. If your child wants to use the computer, who will offer it to him? lol! Just wondering.

Oh, if there's only one computer it is right to take turns. There are times at home that my wife, me and my son wants to use the computer for few reasons like work, online make making sites like myLot, check emails, blogs, and online games for my son. Well, the good thing is that my wife and I bought laptops because we need it if we are not at home and to update our store's information and everything and so before we take turns but now we can go online all at the same time.

I'm very thankful that I don't have that issue. It's sort of funny because there are only two of us in my house (my husband and I), but we have four computers. I have a computer for my personal use and I also have a computer that is used mainly for work. My husband has two computers as well. He upgraded, but still kept the older one. It's really convenient though. We both leave one of our computers upstairs and we both leave the other one downstairs. I enjoy not having to carry it up and down the stairs.

Actually the truth is I am the one who's always using the computer, because my husband is at work. When he's home and wishes to use the pc I let him. That is the only time he can use it. But there are times that we really do argue, especially if he doesn't have work. If he is here the whole day, that will be so troublesome coz, he wants to use it the whole day.

Me and my sister used to argue before but i guess both of us got tired and she just let use the computer anytime. We've had this computer since 2002. I guess her interest in computer faded while mine is still the same. We never really had terrible argument on computer usage. Those were the days when we set up a schedule on who will use the computer on a specific time. I was on night shift.

On the special time, we need to do something special like take turns or make a schedule. My computer has been connected with internet only two weeks, we both like to use it.My hubby likes surfing the net, watching movies, doing online shopping. I like chatting online, do mylot... I think it'll much better as the days pass.
