Do you think that a curfew on a computer is fair?
My mum got a curfew put onto my computer because she felt I wasn't getting enough sleep. I can't access the internet from 10:30pm onwards. This applies to weekends as well, and when I found out I was pretty much furious.
I agree that it's fair enough that I shouldn't be sitting up till 2am on a school night. But if I'm expected to be in bed at the same time on weekends then I'm one very sad teenager indeed. I decided to give the curfew a try for a week, and now that I've had it for a while, it's doing my head in. I've met the love of my life online, and we're exceedingly happy together even with a 5 hour time difference. Though by the time he gets home from school, it's already 9pm or later. So I'm being limited in that aspect too, seeing as talking with him is hard enough as it is.
Do you think curfews are fair?
Do you think it's acceptable to have the same limits on weekends as well as weekdays?
I'd like to say thanks very much for the feature =] Much appreciated, and it's been wonderful to see so many detailed replies ^.^

Lol. If her mom got a time thing on the router (dunno what they call it, I guess parental controls) then you can't access it at all.
And who the heck would go out to spend $200 just to be able to talk after their curfew?!

There was a curfew timer on the router, so my iPod touch wasn't able to connect after hours =)

My parents always encouraged me to use the computer. Good luck with that! Once you get older you won't even remember things like that

I don't have curfews! Free but controlled use of computer is good.
I learn a lot when I use the computer, especially computer programming.

Its worth mentioning most wireless routers have inbuilt parental controls, I have a linksys wireless router and use the wifi.. if you type 192.168.1.1 in the browser username usually is admin and password is also admin ... if you have this click on access and restrictions there are the controls for setting up time restrictions on internet; if there is a username and password other than admin for this, then the parental controls are definitely here; b/c nobody password protects there wireless routers firmware... if you cant break the password.. most linksys routers have a reset button on them.. if not just get the setup disk that came w/ it and reinstall this on a computer that is plugged into router.. again the parental controls might not be here... but this is the only place i can think of that would use internet time for the controls.. worth a shot.. good luck.
