One of my friends fathers was quite handy and he wired the kids bedrooms into a seperate ring on the mains. Then whenever they were too noisy or wouldnt turn the music down he would just go and yank the fuse, stick it in his top pocket and go back and read the paper.
He never shouted once and they never got too loud without asking. Don't get me wrong he allowed them a lot of freedom, just on his terms.
I think that parent should have done something similar.
Heh, all houses should be built like that as standard

I love having the router for my home network right next to my PC. Brother gets to greedy with the bandwidth then its no problem to yank his cable out

If this was my kid though I would have taken his xbox. He doesn't deserve it if he is gonna treat his parents like that.
