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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, 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
Today, I confiscated my daughter’s tablet, phone and laptop after I caught her exchanging nudes with boys. My ex then called me in a rage, threatening to take me to court over “stealing his belongings” since he purchased them. No concern for our daughter’s behavior, just him wanting the stuff. FML
Today, my nineteen-year-old son attempted to mug me. With a screwdriver. 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, my son is an idiot, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by giving him a job as a cashier in one of my stores. Within half an hour, I was sent security footage from that store's manager showing my son on his phone, ignoring customers, picking his nose, and stealing money from the till. FML
Today, a student's parent yelled at me because they had to pay for school equipment their son had stolen from my desk. Apparently, it's my fault because the item was just too tempting for him not to steal. FML
Today, my dad let me use his phone. Five minutes later, he had my mom call it because he thought he'd lost it. FML
Today, my phone went missing. My 8-year-old son took it to school and sold it for $10. FML

Had to do similar things for my son when it came to not doing school work. After a month of limited access, for school work only (phone was also limited and certain apps blocked), learned a good lesson. He was too frightful to try any retaliation like that though, good luck OP.

Were that my kid he’d been grounded from all forms of electronics except for schoolwork for a month for trying. And for every minute that the purse doesn’t show up, that’d be an extra month. He’d get mouthy and yell, and likely wouldn’t give in until the count was at 2-3 months minimum.

Look on the bright side - your son doesn’t have to worry about doing well in school, since he has a fine career ahead of him as a mob boss. And you know those guys always take care of their mamas.

1. Turn the WiFi back on 2. Get your purse back. 3. Put your purse in a secure location 4. Turn the WiFi off. 5. (Optional) Beat your child for pulling that shit. Kids can't play 3-dimensional chess like we parents can.
