I feel guilty that I signed that I have no internet Sad

but I can’t have the school rule my life and I’m not going to send to a non chassidish school.

Yes, no filter.

No, my kids don’t know.

No smart phone.

do you ever take any risks that might expose you of having internet (ordering from amazon or online for example) ?

I always do but all Chasidish people do. Either in kiosks, at work, at friend’s houses with internet.

Why are you doing something you know is wrong for your community? Is it just taava/yetzer hara? Rebellious nature?

Does your husband know?

What do you like to browse on the internet the most? I notice you also said you don’t use a filter, does your dh want you to have one?

I’m also chassidish and use the internet regularly but don’t have any children yet
I’m a bit scared for what’s to come once I do and need to find a school for them…

Even though lots of people don’t officialy have access. They have work computers and phones 😉 You won’t get kicked out of school so fast as long as you and your family “behave” in other areas.

I’m chassidish and have an unfiltered smartphone that my kids know about. We also have several laptops and a Nintendo switch. Don’t AMA because I have no time or patience for stupid questions or suggestions to send to different schools.

I'm chassidish
by choice
I use the internet
by choice
I use a filter
By choice
And its not a secret
And I sign that I have
And I send to one of the above mentioned schools
And they know about it
And are ok with it
And I'm happt it is that way

And no, its not so black and white
And usually honesty is the best policy

Me too.
Smartphones and internet.
It’s not wrong just because my school decided so. I go by the Halacha not by school rules

that's 100% not true
I send to bobov, we write on the forms we have internet at home
as long as it's not a smartphone for the mother they are ok with it being filtered
it's really not so black & white

Fellow chassidish imamother here. There are way more of us than you think. We all figure out how to use the internet to our advantage. Some do it the kosher way at kiosks and others have access at home. Just ask Amazon LOL
