About my Long VMK Absences...

[Cardinal]

My mom does not want me "chatting with people I do not know" so I will be off of VMK until I can convince her it is safe. That being said, I will now say my final goodbyes to the DIS. And remember, there is still a chance of you seeing me on VMK so please keep me on your friends list

This is Cardinal...
Signing off.

Sorry to hear this but unitl your mom knows more about VMK you have to listen to her. Have you suggested she read the parent questionaire on the VMK main page. It explains the game. Maybe you can have your mom play with you so she can see it is impossible to give out any identifying information. Ask her to play with you. So she can see how safe it is. Better than trying to explain it to her. Remember she is just trying to keep you safe. So she must realy love you.

I'm sorry to hear this Cardinal. And I totally agree with what Belle said.
Your Mom is also welcomed to join us here on The Dis, then she could see we're a really nice group of people.

My mother is the same way...and I'm28! She's convinced that everyone on the other side of the connection is evil and out to steal me and do terrible things.

oh well. Sorry to see you go.

That's too bad... But mothers do what mothers do... They only want to protect you. But many of the people on VMK are not out to get you. If anything maybe just ask her if you could just hang out with dis people. Pretty much all of us are very nice people.

Card, I will miss your friendship on VMK, but I hope you can continue to visit the Dis from time-to-time.

This is an excellent idea
When my DD is on vmk, we play together!
Hope to see you again.

Oh Cardinal, that is so sad, I will miss my fellow 'feathered' friend!

I do think Belle and MommyKate, have stated my feelings very well. And as a mother, I too want my son to be safe on the Internet.

I hope things can be worked out!

Card, you will be greatly missed. I am happy I had the opportunity to call you my friend in the game. One of my favorite times in VMK was the day MissBelle and I helped you give out free pins to all the new players on Main Street!

Best wishes to you, and stay the great person you are.

Cardinal~ Your mom sounds like my kind of mom! Let me tell you my story.

My youngest (DS15- Gamebot on vmk) was spending most of his 'fun' computer time on vmk (we use the computer for 'work', too...we homeschool), and I knew he was interacting with more and more people. My concern also was growing, even though I knew that it was Disney. Disney I had a certain level of comfort with, but who were these people he was talking to? 'They' I did not trust! We had 'the talk' several times. He kept a good attitude, though.

Now this boy is wise beyond his years (takes after his momma ) He kept calling me over to the computer to show me stuff. Characters, pins, rooms, furnishings, conversations with 'friends'... Well, you can figure out the rest. I joined vmk and Gamebot was my first friend! I was free to 'drop in' on him at any time, and for a few days I did! As my comfort level increased, I wondered off, making my own friends and earning my own credits. Now he follows me around...lol! (Most of his friends are in school during the day.)

Anyway, Cardinal, obey your mom and love her to pieces for looking out for you. Invite her to read through this thread, and maybe she will give vmk another look. Even if she won't, be happy and thankful for such a good momma!
