Spending time with kids and teaching them something new, why do you think you are a bad parent?
It's not as if you will always let them stay up so late, and binary isn't going to be practical in real world, but none of that would make you a bad parent.

I was joking in the title. I've been letting them stay up until 11 for the summer. The other night they were being bad and were still awake at midnight. I'm working on building a PC, so I had the case out and parts laying around and had them come out to talk about how it works.

No. That's more work than the majority of people put into their kids.

You're an amazing parent, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Literally just a few moments before I saw this thread I thought to myself, that if I ever have children I'll make sure to expose them to technology at a very early age and allow them complete access to the material needed for learning computer science etc I was thinking about how when I was growing up, my mom's ex would have tech but he wouldn't allow me near that, got me thinking that if a person truly cared about technology they would want their children to be part of that. My obaa had a desktop she would let me use though, even if I messed things up, so I'll give her that.

No. I made my 8 year old stay up late and study the battle of Stamford Bridge, then write me a couple of sentences on it. No particular reason other than thinking he would like reading about a lone viking holding a bridge against an army and because I wanted him to learn how to provide sources. I'm planning on making him do this with a couple of different subjects that he can find easily online or in my library so that he grasps the concept of where the information comes from and how to basically cite a source, then let him pick a historical subject to study himself and write a short paper on for his homeschool history project.
