Is your point that the kids may come across some adult related files?
I have my office separate from the living areas of my home, with a locked door. I have my desk set so the kids can not see my screen even if they do barge in. I have a password protected XP account for all my adult biz related data. I have a locked file cabinet for my paper records. The times when my kids HAVE to use my computer (I only have one) for homework or whatnot, I am supervising. I think, being aware of what's out there as I am, I am probably more attentive to what my children are exposed to online than 90% of non-industry employed parents.
Is your point that I am taking time from my children?
Any parent who works full time outside of the home is away from their children for 40+ hours a week. I hardly think that me spending two-three hours a day working from home, while my older kids are in school anyway and just my infant and toddler are around, is taking too much time from them.
I am used to spending all my time with them....playing with them and doing housework was pretty much my life. I'm trying to start a business here, without too much of an adjustment all at once for my kids, which is why I'm only doing one site a day to begin with. It's damn hard to complete that one site when you are getting up every 45 seconds to tend to a child, but obviously my kids are my priority or I would be churning sites out while my kids were neglected, eh?
What exactly is your point, anyway?
chill out, LOL

it was a joke

as in saying "porn should be more important than your kids".. not serious.. just a joke
