Unfortunately, no, Mrs L Don's computer set up is actually a "lab", it's multiple monitors, hard drives, including an entire server rack. We converted our 3rd bedroom into an office for all this stuff. My computer is more basic, but there's still no room in our bedroom, it's pretty small.
OH, he was peeved last night when I sat in the office while he did a homework assignment on my computer lol.
"Mom, you don't have to sit and watch me! I PROMISE I'm not going to do anything!"
"Sorry, buddy, but I've heard it all before."
"But I didn't promise to CHANGE before, this time I promise to CHANGE."
"Well, that's good, but you have to follow up your words with actions. You can't expect people to just accept your words if you don't prove them with how you live your life."
"But I can't concentrate with you in here!"
"That's too bad, I'm not leaving."
"But you're WATCHING me. I can't do this with you WATCHING me."
"I'm not watching you, I'm just sitting over here."
"So why are you in here if you're not going to watch me?"
"Cause I know you won't do anything if I'm in the room."
This is just a sample of what I deal with lol. I've said since he was little, that he needs to be a lawyer. That child can argue anything until you're ready to gouge out your own eyeballs lol. When he was finished, he stomped out of the room and told me to leave him alone, heh. He was fine after some time had passed, though. I made sure to spent lots of time with him and give him lots of attention all through the evening <3
