Have 3 boys, 19,17,14. Friends of theirs played and still play CS. And it is more than a hobby for some of them. Lan parties, etc. When I thought it was too much, and too much=any time at all while in MY home, I put a password on the computer. And only I know it. Solved the problem. My boys also are football players so they were/are too tired when they get home to play anything. They just want to get their homework done and rub aspercreme all over themselves. And since football is in the fall, they wrestle in the winter and play baseball in the spring.

They only ask for the password for dictionary.com and the Chem AP website. Everquest and Warcraft are online interactive games, I think and require a monthly payment??? I wouldn’t pay. And I would put on a password. My boys were/are also straight A students, DS#2 is #1 in his class. And he doesn’t want to know the password any more.

Good luck.
