    OR…
    You could save yourself the time of changing it and tell them no computer until they do their chores and then enforce it!

    Not gonna stop em, smartphones? lol

  3. Dennis says:

    LOL That assumes the parents know how to change the Wi-fi password. Usually it’s the kids that do it.

      Yup. In my high school days, my parents had me set up the security to keep myself and my sister locked out of the PC. As if I didn’t leave a backdoor.

    very well played. i already do this to my 3 teen boys. and no way do they get smartphones until they have a job that will pay for them!

  6. Sincoura says:

    You still need the wifi password regardless of what device you’re using.. (PC Smart Phone, DS, ect.)

    BenO’s not the brightest M&M in the bag….

  8. Zaya says:

    Haha, I was the one who set up the password! But then again, I actually did my chores since getting it over with is much faster than procrastinating.

    Or, they just get a long network cable and plug directly into the router.

    See, if the kids spent as much time doing their chores as some of you people spent thinking up ways to beat the parents “system” they’d be done by now… ;P it’s easier to do what you’re told than to sneak your way out of chores.

    Many routers also have time restriction settings. You can set the hours the wi-fi network is up. True, parents wouldn’t be able to access it either but we all have work we could do also, including helping with homework etc.
    They can also filter by MAC address. If their hardware matches then no Internet.

    More fun: rotate the 1st words of the phrases.
    Walk you beds
    Make the downstairs
    Vacuum the dog.
