I'm pretty sure my mom at least knows I'm involved with a bunch of sites online. Whether or not she knows I'm running one is an entirely different story. She's aware I'm on various sites though, but she doesn't really care, & she wouldn't be interested in any of them anyways.
My dad, on the other hand, doesn't even really know how to use a computer, so he wouldn't even really know what a website is.
I'm close with my parents, but not that close. They probably wouldn't care, and I don't really care to tell them too much. I may love the heck outta them, but I don't even live with either. It's no big dealio.
Mistake telling mine. Now every time there's a family outing or get together, they're always like "tell them about your websites".... well, they're forums about games. Oh games.... ..end of convo.
I haven't lived at home since I was 18, but yes my parent's know about my site. It's probably a better way to contact me since I hate Facebook and other sites like it. My mom has known about mine and my brother's [now closed] forum since they started and even though she never participates she is there in case something bad happens to me or my husband.
She actually visits my site often as a guest because she can never remember her password and also it is usually because she likes my skins and is usually showing off my site to her friends or other people from her church.. (it really is a good thing that she can only see my forum as a guest.. so that they aren't offended by some of the language or anything else..)
Otherwise, she'll go there if she needs help with something on her phone and can't remember the things I told her to download after rooting or flashing a rom to her phone.. so I'll text her a link to the topic if I don't feel like repeating myself.
My mother still writes with a dip-in pen.
The word website is unheard of for her.
She knows, but that's about it for me. 🙂
Computers aren't widely discussed at home.
But at home-base, computers are everywhere.
