I Hate Parental Controls


Inferna Firesword

. . . I don't care that it's the school year now. I should at least be able to help pick and choose the times I'm allowed on the comupter. Is four hours a day so unreasonable?

 

Apparently for my mom, it is. Two hours a day. That's how long I can have access to the Internet at home.

 

Expect me to be on a lot less. <_<

I'm allowed to stay on for as long as I want. At least up until midnight.

 

I'm serious. o_o

 

But sorry to hear that,

 

And Takuma, Half an hour? Wow. That's...Bad, to say the least. :P

I have my own computer that doesn't have parental controls. The Vista computer does but my mom my turned off the time limits since I rarely ever use it and when I did need to use it the computer wouldn't let me so she had to come and change the time settings.

Same here-- all I want, within reason.

 

You know, there are ways to neutralize parental controls... :P

"Is there a way to learn this power...?"

Yeah, this sucks. Hope your parents let up!

That's no fun, but yeah, a few years back I only was allowed thirty minutes for the longest time, and it was miserable.

 

I've learned though a lot of times, if you try not to complain and work with your parents on the issue, after awhile they can let up. My dad is extremely harsh, so I never expected it when they finally chilled about the issue.

I used to have K-9 Security for about 6-8 months, which was a total pain in the butt blocking all the popular sites (including Photobucket). Mothers... <<

 

Then after we installed XP Service Pack 3, my dad was gonna install the real deal - KASPERSKY. Much to my luck, it was already tested in the USA and thus couldn't be installed here.

 

Since then I've had no parental control.

Two hours is a decent amount of time if you can learn how to maximize your time. I used to be allowed only 45 minutes of Internet access, and I quickly formed habits that helped get the most out of my time.

 

And, as EW said, there are ways to get around parental control prgrams.
