I just put one of my kids to bed via Facebook. He had already been sent up to his room but I could see that he was still online – almost certainly using the wifi connection on his iPod touch.
The IM conversation went like this:
Tref oy
Tref bed!
Joe ok
Tref goodnight
Joe is offline
I know that the cynical amongst you will decry this as poor parenting but pshaw I say. It is modern life – location independent fatherhood. There is still, however, no replacement for a real cuddle which is dispensed regardless of the age and sensitivities of the offspring.

Ha ha, good job you are smart enuf to check. We used to sneak torches up to bed to read comics. Kids never change. Just different tech.
Mine just turn the chat feature off so I can’t tell! I end up turning the meshbox off when I see late night status updates and am debating getting a mobile jammer LOL.
