It is amazing the mental hoops people can jump through.

Our eldest had his computer briefly confiscated not that long ago. He was, of course, cross with me when it happened.

The day afterwards he came to me and thanked me for taking it away(!)

Him: "I was spending way too much time playing games, I see that now" Me: "You're welcome to have it back" Him: "No, I'm not sure I want it in my room. It's too much of a distraction"
