[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, if you have Verizon FIOS for internet, you can go in as the administrator and block individual devices.  So if you can block at the WiFi level, and then take away data with the cell provider, then you have done a lot.

But our philosophy is that as long as you are living under our roof and we are paying your bills, then we have the right to say what devices you can and cannot have in our house, even if kid bought the device with birthday money or whatever.

I block my son's phone and computer regularly when he's being awful, which happens occasionally now that he's 14.  I have parental controls on his iphone, and it cuts off at a certain time every night.  I also cut it off as needed when behavior is declining.  Our wifi is ATT, and I cut the wifi to his computer at night and as needed.  The phone/computer are his currency, so cutting those off always gets an immediate change in behavior.  We're also dealing with my son being uglier to me than anyone else, but he's also the most loving to me than anyone else.  It's a tough time right now parenting him, but I'm hoping we can weather this storm to the other side of puberty.  [/quote]
