Hi SQ -- Talk about thought police! And I understand completely, bec. I'm middle-aged and I cowtow to my mom. It's the way I was raised.

Is it possible for you to bustle about, look cheerful -- and then take off for a library or a bookstore or coffee shop to do your reading and internet time?

I hope you find some ways "out" of this situation. Some breathing (and reading) room.
