I am asking this here and asking it early before I go and do it so I can have some sort of back up.

The MS website is shit and gives little help, I know this because I have been there before and tried.

I don't want my son to access Youtube on his Xbox anymore but I don't want to restrict the other fun stuff he is allowed to do, I also don't want him to be able to see videos his mates may send him but I aren't sure if that is even a thing on Xboxii's. I am utterly clueless with them actually. He has incurred Trem rage and I need to stop him watching all of these things so is it possible to do this? I do have an account that is on the Xbox and I am the parent but fuck me they don't make it easy.

Ultimately, why?

and can't you block stuff through your router options or does that bi-pass consoles?

Because he has been looking at stuff I don't want him to, he is 10 and he is in another room now.

I really don't know about the router and consoles all I know is it is so fucked up on how you fiddle with the settings it is crazy. MS are bell ends.

It's porn isn't it?

(you might be better off posting this in the skanky console forum...)

I know you probably don't want me preaching to you, but everything you block he's gonna see when he goes to his mates houses anyway.

Birds and the bees talk for you sir.

No. It's not possible. Don't bother wasting your time trying as he's going to look anyway when either you're not about or he's somewhere else.

Including german goatse, downs syndrome porn, jihadi videos and beheadings.

The more you tell him he can't look at these things the more he'll find them interesting and taboo - and watch them without your input. Rather than become an irrelevance to him - talk to him about the things in an open way and he'll at least get your opinion on these things, rather than lie to you in an attempt to make you happy - whilst still doing exactly what he wants...

Hahaha @caLLous has his rightful flag on his avatar! (I'm too scared to go into the console area, operation yewtree might grab me)

I know all this guys and it isn't bad stuff and if he said "yeah dad I looked at that" then it's job done and we move on, I don't overly care. I mean fucking hell I am the worst when it comes to sick shit running through my head but it is the fact that he lies about it when he gets caught that hurts us and he also knows that this was a test to see if he can be trusted to have his consoles in his bedroom rather than in our back room and he has fucked it up.

Cheers @Moriath I shall have a ganders.

See my post above m8... :(


To be fair, in many ways you maybe want to become an irrelevance. It's kind of the whole point of growing up eh?

I'm the relaxed one mate, he gets away with everything where I am concerned. The first time his mum caught him and I did nothing, I wasn't bothered (my wife is uber strict) but my wife was, I do reign her in quite a lot of times and I always have my sons back if I think she has gone too far and I guess that is what has annoyed me here.

It is part of growing up but me doing this will stop him from getting the mother of all bollockings if his mum catches him again :D

Meh. Can't stop kids from watching porn. Don't know why you'd want to either tbh. It's been freely available for over a generation now and despite what the mail'd have people think it doesn't seem to have had an adverse affect on the sex lives of the now 20-somethings - so it's probably not doing any harm anyway.

Used to be delivered regularly under a bush near our local park when I was a kid. :)

Cheers guys it has all been sorted now, it was really easy actually can't believe I didn't think of it before.............














.........put the little git back in the old room he was in. He wasn't looking at porn, not yet, it would disgust him right now. He will need to in time though so he knows where to put it, unless he watches an all anal porn which could lead to problems....unless he's a gay....

Quick check: I'm not alone in being worried for the little-Trem after reading this thread: am I?

The "old room" is under the stairs, isn't it? :(

We call it the Callous chamber, it still has some of your stains in there. I fill up when I lick them :(
