[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP put his electronics on a timer. They will shut off automatically. Ie no access to internet between say 6pm to 4pm next day.

We did, my kids hated it. But no fights no lies. Dad software guy.[/quote]

PP, could you share how you put the electronics on a timer?  Or, those who mentioned that they were able to time out a device from their internet connection, could you explain how you did that?

As for those who think I am being "overdramatic," it is a change to go from having a scrupulously honest kid to one who lies.  I won't go into examples, but up until very recently, DS was very a scrupulously honest kid.  When he first started lying about video games, we had lots of "corny" talks about trust and what lies to do relationships.  Obviously, it's not sinking it as yet.

He is changing. He's becoming a tween and pushing limits. I'm just sad that it includes lying and creates a situation where DH and I have to do more disciplining.

We're not so upset that he slipped up on the video games, and BTW, he knew exactly how much time he'd gone over by, it wasn't an issue of his not being aware of the time.

We're disappointed that he lied about it, and kept on lying.  [/quote]

Ok, so you didn’t like how people responded to your original post (and yes, you need to chill out with the use of the word heartbroken) so you then decide to come back and introduce other reasons why you’re right? Take your lumps, everyone here is saying this is your fault, stop failing your child. [/quote]
