[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hacking stuff is impossible. Verification needs to go directly to your phone or email. He can’t just change who is admin.

You are a part of the problem. You do not want to give up electronics because you say others need it. No, they want it. Take your child out for two hours while the others kids get screen time. He has no true consequence. You take his phone but give him another phone? He doesn’t need a phone…. I do not understand why your doctor would say no adhd medication during the summer. What was his reason? What do you expect a 13 year old to do over the summer if you and husband are both working? Nothing makes sense[/quote]

Op here. And this comment is helpful how? Be glad he’s not your kid bc with your kind of black-and-white sanctimommy thinking my DS would run circles around you, esp if you think it’s all that simple. LOL.

Yes our family “needs” tech. DH and I have jobs and telework FT, requiring zoom meetings and teams etc. We also have other teens in our family who are enrolled in summer school online, tutoring, coming and going etc. We can’t just eliminate all tech from our home for five other people bc one is a problem.

Maybe you don’t have a job or a similarly busy schedule with work/jobs/teens/activities and you have time to be escorting one PITA kid around for hours while the others get screen time. But Give me a break that isn’t realistic in this household.

Am I a perfect parent? No. But I do appreciate the helpful solutions and recommendations others have posted. And clearly you’ve not read details bc he hasn’t had his phone or computer for over a week now. He does steal his siblings when he can, but they are over it now too. And yes he has hacked our systems and would likely hack yours too. [/quote]

You’re not taking it seriously enough is the problem. Get rid of the system that he is hacking. Rent an office space  if you need to work. Build a shed. Do whatever you have to do. This kid needs zero electronics for quite awhile and he needs to learn to do other things in place of playing on a computer. Send your other kids to the library for online classes. Figure it out before he ends up in jail. [/quote]
