Teenage bed times and Skypeing...

[ParsleyTheLioness]

14 yr old dd goes to be 2100 school nights, lights off 2130. One hour later for hols. This would be ok, but I keep finding her Skypeing at stupid-o-clock, waking to the sound of teenage giggling... I can take the computer, etc off her at half-nine, or half-ten, but quite honestly I am normally asleep by then. I have to be up earlyish normally, and am fit for not much past about nine. I realise this is not dd's fault, but I really cannot manage without a reasonable sleep. At the moment I have said I want the computer at nine, until she proves she can be trusted with it later. I have no objection to reading, listening to mp3 etc, I just can't keep being woken up. STBXH was much stricter with her, so she's trying it on a bit. Any thoughts Wise Ones?

sorry like this

Thanks Bruff and yours are cheaper

My remote control socket thingies were from Lidl, they were a pack of 4, 2 have dimmer switch on them but I can't figure those ones out, had a previous set. I can't remember what my previous set was called, I had them for a while. You don't need to be in the same room to switch them off. You could also consider a timer switch.

Have a spare timer switch...will give that a go, thanks.

On my wifi router, you can log into it and set permissions for each device that connects to it, and set times that they can can connect to wifi

Will go and dust the instruction book...thanks.
