Mom never heard of ethernet.

Today's FP can be unlocked by posting a photo of a clever mom. Said photo must include a box of crackers to prevent reusing previous photos.
PerseusRex
I would photoshop a tiny box of crackers at the bottom just to spite you. But since I'm lazy and I can't photoshop, I'm going back to porn.

But how will they learn without wifi? The catch 22.

It's 2016. They just use the data plan on their phones.

Personally I'd be more of a prick about it: clean the kitchen, not send any photos, then reset the password myself.

As a parent I would just check to see if electronics were used with a thermal camera. Cannot hide the heat signature you tiny bastards.

or use your data plan to connect, which you clearly have since you're going to 'text' a photo.

Well just get on the computer they use to access the router, they most likely saved the pass/user for eoa and even if they didn't but left i
CrazyCatLad
My parents set up some stupid block that required a password to get on IE (early 2000s). Hit forgot password, guessed Ford & got in 1st try.

run a browser that you can change perimeters and possibly make the pass not work.

You can buy used ones cheap or borrow an old one from a friend.

Just plug an Ethernet cable into the router and your computer.

For the computer, lock the BIOS with a password, there done.

Well, I said computer. And you presumably have a data plan on the phone. Jokes on your parents when you use up all the shared data.

Pish posh, we don't actually starve our children. Enjoy bringing down every party ever.

We've obviously got very different definitions of a party. I like alcohol and music, you like domestic torture and cruelty.

My non-verbal 9 year old "AMAM!" which means he wants M&M's. "No M&M's until you pick up the trash you threw on the floor". I'm a monster.

Because that reflects perfectly in your original comment.
seemill
Maybe don't read entire stories into 140 characters or less and make huge assumptions. Or do, I'm not a cop (just a child abuser, right?)
ragingcatfish
My mom and dad would say clean the kitchen. I would clean the kitchen because I enjoyed not having a spanked ass.
MephitmpH
There's another thread about spanking kids here. Are you a murderer or a rapist yet?
ragingcatfish
Define murder....
axtonthecomando55
I enjoy a spanked ass. Just saying.
LivinginLuling
Also my method of parenting.
yorkiemoma
I would clean it with tears running down my face because I would call their bluff
Flyndaran
Pansy. They spanked, they woke up with shit destroyed. They weren't willing to break bones.
yorkiemoma
My dad has some scary wrinkly little eyes that have power to strike fear into whom ever made eye contact with him .. Like medusa but bald
Flyndaran
My dad's disappointed look did FAR more than any act of violence ever could.
yorkiemoma
I would not want to disappoint him o.o
8UCKW1LD
But, that hurts your kids. They did something wrong and you spanked them for doing so? Woah. Ruthless..
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
You're getting downvoted, but as I understand it, metastudies suggest more harm than good from spanking and other physical punishments.
8UCKW1LD
I was spanked as a child and turned out fine. There's a fine line between disciplining your child and actually beating them. 1/2
8UCKW1LD
That being said, I was born in a age where that was socially acceptable. Some kids these days are horrible human beings. 2/2
ElbowDeepinaTinyOctopus
The point of studies (and metastudies) is to shift out the anecdotes from the useful data. Good to know you turned out fine, though. =]
JasonasB
Some cases, a spanking is needed. Such as destroying a room, heavily disobeying, etc. It teaches the kids not to do it, because pain 1/2
JasonasB
Will be a consequence and they don't want pain, therefore, obeying.
Flyndaran
Bullshit. Spankings meant shit got destroyed. They were never willing to escalate to broken bones.
BlastedSand
I did plenty of shit that I shouldn't have. But cleaning was something I did just because I was asked to, seemed fair enough.
ginse
My parents used guilt to a level I'm still trying to figure out. It worked astonishingly well.
Fembottuner
My parents did the same. I recognized later on it worked so well because their opinion matters so much to me. Still does.
vladimirputinisaniceman
In all of my years of childhood my parents only hit me once, and I was never purposely disobedient
Flyndaran
Pain made me angry and stubborn. Disappointed looks ruled me.
vladimirputinisaniceman
Ugh god that was the worst
CatWithHands
Learned way early spanking just HURT. No real damage. Spanking did little after that. Knowledge I disappointed them hurt more, honestly.
amoeba15
My mom couldn't use time-outs because I would just sit there and read and she felt it would be a bad thing to tell me not to read. haha
Eymxil
Better mentality than mine. When I was grounded mine would actually take away my books on top of everything else.
amoeba15
The funny thing is my parents hate reading but encouraged it in me. My daughter and I are the only readers in the family.
NoDickPicsPlease
Kids need to learn to do what theyre told, when they're told..not because of some incentive.
tryin2figureitout
Yeah, kids need to operate on a completely different basis than adults or any living thing really.
lildeidei
I'm glad you said this. I don't go to work for any incentive other than my paycheck. Bitches be tripping if they think I'm there for fun.
ragingcatfish
yeah working for something is one thing. being asked by a superior to do something and only doing it if a reward is involved is another.
lildeidei
Reward is your boss doesn't become petty & try to fire you for any reason. All things work-related fall under paycheck category in my book.
LockeLongmast
Or becuase of the threat of violence? Kids should do things cuz it's the right damn thing to do, not so they won't get hit.
JohnnyTitelips
"Should" is the key word here. Kids are assholes.
ragingcatfish
if you give a kid a reward for doing the right thing, they grow up feeling entitled. If you raise a good kid and reward him/her 1/2
ragingcatfish
as they grow up to reenforce that their actions dont go unnoticed, thats fine. If you get spanked, you just know not to do it again. 2/2
itsbre
You also learn that violence is how you get your message across.
Afronado
or just hit the hardware reset button on the router and change the password yourself
StoicJ
My parents would beat me to near death using the router if I tried that kind of stuff as a kid
texasdean
First rule of Layer 1 routing is to securing your equipment, my distribution box has a lock on it.
CrazyCanuck150
Yeah, and then when the parents get home and realize the wifi password has changed ... somebody gonna get a hurt real bad.
WonderHowManyCharactersICanTypeBeforeIReachTheLimit63Apparently
Most routers have WPS enabled. Press it, get access from a laptop, get password (cmd and google), you're in like Flynn.
Alterburner
Mine doesn't come enabled from "factory", and doesn't come with admin access over wifi enabled either.

And once you do that, some routers actually have the wifi password in plain text, so you don't even need to change anything.
KimJungPun
I would be proud as hell if my kids thought of doing this... especially if I didn't catch them
WhatzitTooya
Yeah, go ahead and give them praise for the still dirty kitchen sink. Thats not gonna backfire, really.
ChloeRed
My brother tried this when visiting my Mum's (I pay for her internet access). Worked well. Wiped the ISP/portforwards. Wifi was unaffected.
ChloeRed
Next time I bet he tries to reset the AP instead, and he'll break that instead.
AtomicDJ
As a parent, you shut up right now!
somethingsomethingsomethingsomewhere
This is why someone like me will change the settings on the router to point all pages to a cleaning video on the home media server.
wayshegoesboys
Her children will either be very tidy, or an extensive knowledge of troubleshooting technology. 2 very useful skills.
trailerparksupervisor
That would earn you a severe beating in my house.
yoandhello
Taught Randy not to fuck with the wifi, dintchoo?
itsthevoiceman
That seems like overkill. You okay? I lived in an abusive household and, trust me, overkill isn't acceptable.
trailerparksupervisor
I need to learn not to exaggerate on the internet. I wouldn't beat anybody, but they would definitely get smacked.
Afronado
I'd just like to point out to all of youse telling me to clean the kitchen: I fuckin' do, and I'm the only one who does it
CClop
Seems like more trouble than actually cleaning the kitchen. Well, my kitchen anyway.

Neutral chaotic
Ssssssssssss
Of course, when mother later tries to change the password, she'll catch you. I'd be impressed enough to not offer a punishment the first-
Ssssssssssss

Midnaspet
gfdi I commented this then scrolled down >:(
AwesomeName
That would also remove the ISP credentials, wouldn't it?
duke605
Using PPOE yes. Using DHCP no.
sindrealmost
In Norway the modem auto configures, it connects with default credentials, Serial is checked and customer spec. profile is uploaded
gakio12
Same for most ISP everywhere.
shimmernshine
Presuming you need any. Every cable ISP I've used in the US registers the HFC MAC of your modem for auth.
AwesomeName
You guys all don't see the major flaw: the inability to return the WiFi password to the one Mom used.
AwesomeName
Since you can't cover your tracks, you just earned yourself an even harsher punishment.
GlowGreen
Yeah, that's why I'd boot up into Backtrack and use a WPS vulnerability to crack the WPA2 password. Got the password and Mom never knows.
ElHuhn
Or just lock the room with the router in it, like my dad did. My sis and me than broke the lock, unhinged the door and hid it in the attic.
sharkba1t
lol parents tried that. We just went and got our own key cut.

VanDerGroot
If my kids circumvented any of my rules I'd think up a punishment that would make them regret being my kids.
Kerrus
so because the old router was still in the same place and online, they never noticed that them changing the PW didn't do anything.
BlasserDuennerJunge
That's a lot of work for avoiding to do help your mother with regular stuff.

The deal was: Chores or internet will be blocked. I did the dishes first in the morning, THEN realized he blocked the internet nevertheless.
