how can I prevent son from using internet after 11pm

I don't have that problem and that's what happened to me. It give me discipline which is what people lack these days.

depends:

does the person have an alround good lifestyle?

are they dependant on the technology to fill a hole or is it purely a discipline problem

If there is a good social circle, love and support but missing a strong male model then it is discipline. If they have not got that then it's psychological and punishing does nothing but hurt
 
Streaming porn nadayada when i was 16 i had my own ISDN line and i never streamed porn or really bothered about it everyone is different. Your son does not need a job as such he needs a woman to push him on in life trust me. And you let him get in this position anyways if he had some advice on what awaits him in life instead of threats and nagging parents he might decide for himself what is best.


If you have to come on forums asking us how to deal with him we already know the answer, You failed and cant talk openly to your son which is a classic among the double job parents. My own parents worked a lot and we had the same problems.

How about a Hammer? Ah, the good old days when my Dad used to threaten to hammer my stuff.

When I was 16-19 I would stay up all night, now aged 22, I have to go to bed at like 10-11pm, I can't do it anymore, on the very rare occasion i'll be up till like 2am maybe, maybe let time takes its toll?
 
I'll be honest if I did that when I was 19 I would have either been thrown out or definitely given a few slaps.

You aren't his friend, you're his parent and when he's living with you it's under your rules, if you think he's not adhering to those rules you have every right to do whatever you see fit(Obviously it's less common these days to be able to slap a kid, regardless if they deserve it)


Just take the internet away entirely, not restricting it, entirely until he has a strict chore/job seeking timetable setup, so for instance, every week he has to:

Apply to at least X amount of jobs
Hoover the entire house
Wash the dishes as and when they are there
Keep his space tidy and presentable



Also get him to sell his mechanical keyboard and get a rubber domed one to help you cope with the noise.

My 2c.
 
Sorry what? Do you really think the OP has every right to do whatever he sees fit? Really? Do you understand what that actually means? I am getting the distinct feeling you don't understand what it is that you've actually said.

He isn't beating the crap out his son with a cricket bat, he just wants him to stop being a fapping oxygen thief and have some respect and aspirations in life.

I'd treat him like a poo until he deserves otherwise. Rent is required and no noise after 10PM.

I'm responding to GefGz, not the OP about the notion that the OP is every right to do whatever he sees fit, because the OP does not have every right do as he sees fit, obviously GefGz just doesn't understand what that phrase actually entails.

You must be a proper blast at parties.

Ok since apparently I need to say this for persons such as yourself, OP try not to murder rape or mutilate your 19 year old son.

The guy is concerned about turning the internet off, needless to say I didn't assume I needed to put a disclaimer telling him not to severely injure his son mentally or physically.

Do you argue just for the sake of it or do you actually end up contributing to the conversation? Because I'd rather talk about the thread than your take of the way I write my sentences if we could.

Thanks
 
Maybe you should say what you mean instead, yeah?

If I type out a paragraph explaining my every sentence will that mean you stop commenting just for the sake of it when you have nothing to add?

EDIT: I am writing the above sentence to ensure that Spoffle on the Overclockers UK forum reads my posts and attempts to understand the context in which they were written without jumping to an extreme that is nor was ever implied.
