Advice

Of course it is alright for you to draw limits to your time! Even if this was your mother, it would still be alright for you to set limits!

Unfortunately, since y'all have set a pattern, it's going to be hard to break it without hard feelings. Tell her that you are willing to teach her how to use the computer, but you feel that you are robbing her of a chance to really enjoy her computer if you do it for her. Then, walk her through it. It will be hard. You will get completely frustrated. But eventually, you won't have to be with her when she logs on, you'll be able to coach her by phone. And we all know that, once she's hooked, she's not going to be your problem 24/7. Oh, and make sure her ISP has 24/7 tech help - that's what they're paid to do!

As for staying there, tell her that you have something terribly contagious and it is simply unfair to her for you to stay overnight. (You're not lying - becoming a burden is VERY contagious!!)

Good luck - and don't take any guilt trips!!
