[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what happens when 15 year olds are in charge of the house. No computers, TVs or phones in room.

I'm not sure this is indicative of a 15 year old "in charge" of the house, but I agree that computers and TVs don't belong in bedrooms. For this reason we've resisted buying our kids laptops (and frankly it pisses me off that next year in high school my DC2 will be given a laptop. This wasn't school policy when DC1 was in high school).

We have a desktop in a common area of the house and that's where or DC1 (now in college) always did homework. My kids also have the worlds worst phones, old, slow, and small, with little memory, so they don't spend hours in their rooms on their phones either. (And at any rate, after 7 pm, phones in our house go in the kitchen for charging and aren't really used after that.) These aren't battles in our house because it's just always the way it's been.

It's easier (much) when you have these kinds of rules from the beginning. I don't know how you backtrack and tell DD that she can't use her laptop in her room now without a huge battle, but maybe think about limiting your DS going forward.[/quote]
