And lo, verily, the bad ass did interpret anecdote as data and misseth the point entirely from the comfortable perch of his free ride.

And you turned into such a charmer, too!
Seriously. Perfect model to emulate.

There was a picture making the rounds on facebook some months ago. A mom wrote on a piece of paper, "You want the wifi password? Come talk to me after you have: 1) --- 2) ----" She listed a few chores that she wanted done. I made a mental note to use if necessary in the future.

I am that PP - the actual term I use is "international" bad ass. Oh how I wish DD were not that way, but I'm playing the hand I'm dealt...
Another tip - learn how to log into your router and change the default wifi password. If you ever confiscate a a phone or computer or ipod, your child WILL borrow someone else's, and this way they cannot connect to WIFI without you knowing.
Agree on computer in public area. We've toyed with a keylogger, but are able to keep a reasonable amount of activity tracked via history, and I'm not sure we want to know EVERYTHING - just what we need to know to keep the trouble at a garden-variety teenager level. More later- there are quite a few things we do - none of which are foolproof otherwise I wouldn't have to think of this crap
Have to maintain your sense of humor.

In Real Estate, someone posted a tip about setting an alarm with a code for kids that doesn't work after a certain hour as a way of contravening sneaking out, etc.
Thought that was brilliant. Wonder if we should share tips here on how to anticipate and neutralize myschief. I.e., do you turn your wifi off at night? Keep the computer in a public area so they can't access porn, toss the room once in a while for drugs?
