Pawz4me Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Ummmm... Oh good. It's not just me. LOL! And I thought it was just me. I love me some irony. (Sorry, OP! But it IS kinda funny.) 2 Quote
PagesandFields Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Oh come on! Somebody! :) haha.. I know... See this is the reaction of all my friends... But I know there are people out there! :) Eta... :) this is why it's so hard! Sahm's who are isolated pretty much ONLY have screens to communicate...so limiting it or moderating it is particularly hard... Therefor the need for the chat group... To help support those who ARE trying to set healthy boundaries... For us that means Friday night movie night... And weekend iPad time for mama... :) Edited April 23, 2016 by PagesandFields Quote
Terabith Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I assumed it was children being screen free. Waldorf Facebook groups are pretty good for that, actually. Quote
Lady Florida. Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Oh come on! Somebody! :) haha.. I know... See this is the reaction of all my friends... But I know there are people out there! :) The reaction is because you're posting on a screen device to invite people to a screen free group. You might have been referring to just tv screens, or maybe just to the kids, but the irony is hard to ignore. :) 2 Quote
eternalsummer Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 They are laughing because you are wanting to create a screen-free group via a method (the internet) that requires use of a screen. We are pretty screen-free; we don't have cell phones (at all) or tablets or any other small electronic devices like that - also no tv, laptop, etc. We have two desktops we use for work and leisure, though. (obviously as I am here) 2 Quote
PagesandFields Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 I already addressed that in my previous post... I am aware of the irony.. 1 Quote
Catalytic Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Might try asking in the Robinson Curriculum FB group, a lot of folks there are mostly screen free. Quote
PrairieSong Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Sorry, but I don't get it. You want to be more screen free but you want a computer support group that will involve more screen time? Quote
PagesandFields Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 Never mind... I was looking for support not criticism... Quote
JustEm Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I'm a huge fan of screen free or less screen time but having a support group online would seem to negate it for me. For example, if I needed support on a Monday then you couldn't give it to me until Saturday since you are a weekend only iPad user. I would find it less supportive and more frustrating for myself but I know Waldorf followers who have online support. 1 Quote
PrairieSong Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Never mind... I was looking for support not criticism... I don't think people were criticizing you as much as scratching their heads. If I wanted less screen time, I wouldn't form a computer support group that required me to be on the computer more. I'd be more likely to form an IRL support group, or maybe just make a list of non-screen time activities to get me jump started. I might talk to a friend, IRL or on the phone, for support. Would any of those ideas work for you? 3 Quote
Slache Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 But if one desires real people to communicate with an online group is the best way of accomplishing that for some of us. OP, I'm no help, but this is what I do. In the morning I work out, check my email and go over the hive quickly and then turn my computer off. I put my phone by my bed and leave it there with only my husband's phone number causing my phone to ring. It's on silent for everyone else. We don't have a television because I have no self-control. :leaving: I've been horrible lately because I'm so sick, but that's what I'm supposed to do. 1 Quote
JoJosMom Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Never mind... :grouphug: OP. I'm sorry that people were being nasty. I hope you find what you were looking for. 1 Quote
