i say do you. i feel like people who spend "too much" time on the internet probably know it already. i dont think being married/havng children should stop you from web surfing.
i would relate net addiction to any other addiction: if youre doing it so much that it interferes with your daily life (ie, you skip work, forget to pick up the kids, stop bathing) or you start to feel guilty about said activity, then its a problem.
PS - i spent many a friday/saturday nites in college web surfing for hours on end. does that make me a loser? not really, considering i couldve been out drinking my life away in some shady bar. in which Dionysus will be appointed as "head of college partying and other random sh!t" and then tell me how many drinks qualify me to start rethinking my priorities.

I'm not saying that my standards are exactly right. It was just my opinion. I was just asking for others opinions also. And yes, I spend way too much time according my standards. I've also spent a couple weekend nights surfing the web, especially in the summer, I try not to make it a habit though. No comment on what people IRL say about my internet habits. A couple swear that I'm addicted, but I agree with you, it becomes an addiction when it interferes with your life.
