Can you define a good old fashioned *******ing for me please?
His power won't be turned off suddenly, there will be a boundary set that it will automatically go off at 9pm, regardless of what he might be doing.
I'm not going to just arbitrarily turn it off because I feel like it. Then he will have to work within the boundary. Like I said, before he worked out how simply he could switch the smart plugs back on there was no conflict.
The lighting arrangement is going to be an LED Baton, if he's prepared to drop it from the ceiling, remove the live cables, put some kind of socket on it or a choc block onto his PDU, which will still at this time be behind a locked plastic socket cover, which if he had thought about it he could have took a hammer to in order to get through to the switches without exposing himself to exposed conductors at all. And manage all this without tripping an RCBO................... Then I think he's earned the shock, and or the 30 seconds of extra xbox time he gets before I notice........
Could we keep things based in reality please
I'm not sure why there seems to be such concern about removing the source of conflict.
Who am I to 'Control' him?
He's a human being, and we as human beings regardless of age are wonderfully adept at doing things that aren't good for us. I have an opportunity to encourage appropriate behaviours, rather than give a '*******ing' for negative behaviours.
Maybe a swift clip round the ear is in order? Yet if I do that at work to another 'Adult' I'd get fired and quite possibly charged for assault.
I have siblings, I grew up with the expression 'If you can't share, neither of you will have it'.................... How is this situation any different?
Cheers
