I'm 55 years old, have 2 boys and 2 girls (only 1 girl, 13, at home now) and have built them all computers.

I have, at times, driven myself half crazy and driven wedges between myself and my kids over the time they spent on their computers compared to the time they spent outside doing stuff (with me).

I missed their company like crazy and felt a bit miffed at being so readily replaced in their lives by a beige box.

This'll bore you but when I was young TV was new and most of our free time was spent outside either playing or getting into mischief. Being inside was boring. Outside doing stuff was normal.

When my four kids were still all at home I figured "if I can't beat them I'll join them".........I built myself a P4 2.8, put all our pc's on a home network and got them to teach me how to play Unreal Tournament and Half Life.

They slaughtered me on Unreal but I won respect by completing Half Life on my own (it was bloody hard!).

The result was that my kids "humored" me by increasing the time they spent doing outside stuff.

I now talk to the three at uni on Messenger more than face to face and the daughter at home has made her school tennis team.

I guess the guts of it is talk to your Dad and be prepared to listen and compromise.

My bet is that he loves you and misses your company.
