To smash up all DS screens

[OntheWaves40]

DS (14) has repeatedly ignored me when I’ve told him it’s lights out and removed his screens, he has sneaked downstairs for them, sneaked in to my bedroom when i’ve been in the bathroom for them, rooted through my drawers to look for them. The first night I confiscated his phone, the second his tablet and by the third his game console. I told him he would get them back on Sunday. This was Monday evening and since then I’ve caught him several times on one of them. Tonight he was on his tablet I grabbed it off him and smashed it up in front of him, then gathered his phone and console and threw them all out his bedroom window. His console is broke. His phone survived.
Now I don’t know what to do. He’s in his room and I’m in living room in shock.

*Because most of our children are way more savvy than us when it comes to technology

If it can be banned I am sure it can be reinstated*

Not without my phone and passwords/face recognition it can't.....

Ok Frang

How old of your son ?

I wasn’t aware of being able to ban the number (I don’t have a Microsoft account)

I am aware that ds will disable apps (360) on his phone when it suits him and make some excuse why it’s not working (no data left (it’s on his dad’s account)/school network went down/dropped his phone)

I’ve known my friends ds to buy their own cables and hide them. My ds has to spend time at home alone quite often I like that he is able to chat with friends in this time but it still causes huge arguments when it comes to getting him off the PS4 it’s utterly exasperating the sudden switching off a device causes huge tantrums it’s not so simple for many of us to just switch something off it will be at least half an hour if crying/shouting/slamming doors and so on

I don’t think for one minute the op or others who have broken their child’s screens/games consoles have done so to hurt their children it’s done out of exasperation- no of course not ideal but what parent is always perfect in the decisions they make (should take that back as many on here seem to be)

TryingToBeBold. Where in my reply to OP does it say that I thought it was the right thing to do?

”You can really tell some of these responses aren’t from parents of a teenager!
OP calm down, relax and start again tomorrow”

@Frosty26827 I didnt say anywhere that anyone things it was the "right" thing to do.
I said it was not "appropriate". Very different meanings..
