Many thanks for the family info. I had no idea of your age or family status.
Actually, a dear friend of mine had his father die from stroke when the friend was just a teenager. As he got older, and to his eternal credit in my book, my friend viewed himself as his mother's sole protector and support, and so he lived at home and supported her until her death about 15 years ago.
Anyway, he was a very good son, and always allowed her to have priority on the family computer, which made me smile every time I saw that. Thus, your comment struck a memory chord from my youth, and I simply viewed the comment about your 'Mom' through the lens of my life experience.
BTW, my current teenage son is my second step-child journey. My first set that I raised to adulthood (in a previous marriage, obviously) are now in their mid 30's. I must say that there is a world of difference between the first set (pre-smart phone) and my current step-son (post smart phone.) No doubt about it, the first set were more physically socially interactive, while my current step-son is very inward and withdrawn. Can you guess which spent most of their formative years on small, hand-held devices and computer screen interfaces?
And the same goes for hifi. The older step-kids all dig high fidelity gear and hifi, while my current step-son is not at all interested in audio gear or hifi, other than cheap ear buds and small portable music devices. With the cost of nice separate electronic gear nowadays, though, how can I complain?
Again, thanks for the nice response.
Cheers,
WS
