To trip the electricity.

I posted a long post, something weird with MN happened and it disappeared.

DC were naughty.

14yo DS1 tried being smart, lied to me and refused to stop playing play station, despite time warnings, and blocked himself into his room.

I asked him to come out and put his plate in the dishwasher and put the kitchen bin in the dustbin. He refused. I saw an flipped switches in under stairs cupboard, leaving house in darkness. (except, conveniently the kitchen, haha!)

I was only so angry because DS1 has Aspergers and we aren't allowed to move the goal posts, yet he just did!

Now I feel like an evil twat.

I have psychologically damaged my teenage son, and no replies.

Curious.

Having aspergers isn't a licence to misbehave and mess you around. You did the right thing. YANBU

I left him in the dark, not knowing why for 10 minutes!

Of course, he could have come out of his room to find out, but was probably too scared after I'd shouted "Come out now! Come out now and put your plate away or there will be trouble!"

He doesn't like shouting.

What do you think he did for those 10 minutes?

It's not a clear thread title. Try, 'Am I being unreasonable plunging my son with Aspergers into darkness' and see how you get on.

And yes, I think YWBU.

I would tell myself I was fucking unreasonable.
