[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 35754, member: 84"] When my kids were that age there was only 1 computer in the house. It was mine. To use it they had to be able to convince me it was absolutely necessary. (rare that they could) It wasn't there for their entertainment. It was set up in the diningroom. I had a problem when T got to big for his britches and would sneak on my computer to view porn in the middle of the night. I'm far from a prude, but the stuff he was stumbling across made playboy seem "modest". (gag me) Not to mention those sights have trojans and spyware out the ying yang. Which is how I caught him each time. By the 3rd time he was completely banned from computer usage at home. husband set me up with passwords, and I took the keyboard/mouse to bed with me each night. It stood at that til he was 18 and got a computer for graduation. We had major difficult child drama, believe me. And I swear I heard every bogus excuse in the world from him trying to convince me to let him o/l. We stuck to our guns and rode out the storm. If you've made up your mind about the rules, you need to stick to them. If you cave due to difficult child behavior, ie tantrums and such, it shows him that being nasty and mean gets him what he wants. If he gets violent, call the police or haul him to the ER. You don't have to tolerate that sort of abuse. I do want to mention that zoloft made T more aggressive, edgy to the max. It progressed to him attempting to strangle his sister. (T is not usually an agressive person at all) If you've been seeing a more agitated state since the zoloft you should tell the psychiatrist. Not everyone can take it. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
