[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let go of the idea you are your family’s social director. Give up on your husband- he is an adult and should make his own decisions. You make plans for yourself, let him know, then go and have fun. For your son, you need to take ironclad control of screen time. Control his access to the router with a schedule. There are devices for this. Let us know if you want suggestions of specific equipment or apps. Set up parental controls on all his devices. There is X amount of screen time per day then that is it. He is responsible for entertaining himself and sometimes he is required to accompany you to some activities, even if he doesn’t like it. Just ignore the complaining. The closer he gets to being able to work and manage his own transportation, the less you can do this of course. But you’ve still got a couple years left of having an influence on his activities.[/quote] I am curious about these tools and apps. Please post. [/quote]
