When I unplug the wi fi modem

And I hear the boys bedroom doors open and they holler is the modem turned on as they’re playing online games. I’ll ask why oh ok let dad reboot the dam thing.

So I’ll wait for awhile and unplug it I’ll wait plug it in again then get hollered at from upstairs and I’ll say it’s ok I’ll reboot it again and I’ll get thanks dad. If you can’t aggravate your kids what’s the use.

So I talked to my wife for a while.
She seems like a nice person.

Great way to get the "little ones" to fall in line...and, yes, I am old AND new school: you need positive AND negative reinforcement, IMHO.

I use it sparingly, but I do use it when push comes to shove (or, better yet, disconnect? )

And, aside from discipline and family time, it does very much help every now and then on the tech side to reboot the modem and a separate router if you have one. Clears up a lot of "stuff".
