My mom is completely unfamiliar with computers and doesn't even have a basic understanding of what a "forum" is, and she only has a vague idea of what the "internet" is. My dad, on the other hand, is much more tech-savvy and knows that I enjoy communicating online. I haven't noticed any explicit disapproval from him, but when he's in a bad mood or just wants to pick a fight, the argument "you should be doing... instead of sitting at the computer and tapping on the keyboard" is used most often. I can't even remember exactly what he usually says, but sometimes it sounds quite harsh. It doesn't happen very often, but it's frankly annoying. I just want to say "I'll figure it out myself," but that wouldn't lead to a peaceful discussion, so I prefer to wait for my dad to calm down and then continue with my own activities.
