Today, I told my son if he wanted the new internet password he had to clean his room. I then caught him disconnecting my laptop from the internet. Turns out he changed the password months ago and now if I want the new password he wants £50. I ended up paying. I'm actually proud of the sneaky sod. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my son tried extort me into turning the WiFi back on by hiding my purse. He was mad because he'd lost access for being disrespectful. FML
Today, I told my son that if he doesn’t sort his life out, I’d change the Wi-Fi password. His answer, "Good luck old man, I changed it months ago and unless you leave me alone, I’ll disconnect your living room TV." I’m disabled so I need the TV to cope with being depressed. FML
Today, I threatened my kids I’d turn off their WiFi unless they did their chores, so my eldest chimed in, "Please, we changed the WiFi password months ago in case you tried to threaten us like this," then turned off my WiFi, which I need to work from home. I had to beg a 12-year-old to let me work. FML
Today, my son got an email saying he could win an iPad if he just entered his credit card number. He asked for mine, telling me that it was so he could buy some school supplies online, so I gave it to him. The internet just conned a credit card number out of a 17-year-old nitwit. And me. FML
Today, I tried to get my son off of the couch by turning off the wifi. Afterward, I went to watch tv. Turns out he got me back by turning off the cable. FML
Today, my manager asked me for the password to my Internet so she could Skype family since she can't pay her bill. This is the same woman who just a week ago tried to evict me because my rent was an hour late. Trying to be the bigger person, I gave her the password. She changed my password. FML
Today, I found out that whenever I send my son to his room, he goes on his iPod and buys the most expensive apps he can find. So far I've been charged $600. FML
Today, I got a computer. When I opened it, I found out that my dad had made himself the administrator. He made it so everything shut off after 11 o'clock, and made it so I couldn't download anything without his password. FML
Today, my cute co-worker asked if he could use my computer. I told him my password and went to the bathroom. When I came back he said he'd finished. I tried to log in, but my password wouldn't work. I then noticed a Post-it note on the desk saying, "Stop stalking me and I'll change the password back." FML
Today, I found my brother tampering with my laptop. He had changed the entire settings, in ways I don't even know how to fix. I finally had to get my mom to threaten him to change it back to its original setting. I'm 15. He's six and can barely get dressed by himself. FML

And it never occurred to simply hard-reset the router and reconfigure the wifi because...?

If my kid tried that with me, a quick call to the cable company cutting off the internet would occur, and also a deactivation of the cell phone as well.

And you didn't beat his ass because?

I’m confused. If you were offering a new internet password, that implies he had access to the internet but will have lost it. If he knew the password all along, there was no new password and internet access would remain. Having internet access contradicts

YDI for making a threat you couldn’t deliver on, but also for giving in, because now you’ve given him a way to get money out of you anytime he feels like it.

...the first scenario, so he could conclude you were lying. The first thing you’d expect him to do after you told him would be to check the internet, realising immediately that it wasn’t true. It seems like a no brainer. Am i missing something? Did I misunderstand what happened? Also, I get being (secretly) proud of it, but don’t give him money. Don’t reward him for the shit.

So you’re a complete pushover?

Yea, be proud of the fact that he doesn’t respect you whatsoever. Good job there.

Bitch OP is proud of their son for outsmarting them. The fact that the son doesn’t respect his parents is why this is in FML but they’re proud because the son is a genius

If you were able to change the password to something he didn't know then how did he go in and change the password to something you didn't know? That doesn't even make sense.

And you gave in to him why? There would be serious consequences in my house. Your kid is an ass and its your own fault, because clearly he knows you are easy to manipulate.
