Excellent ... parenting is a challenge you never truly understand until you are a parent. You handled it well. I suppose I would have remained calm because he offered me a challenge. I then would have given him a choice. For example ... here are your choices ... you can let me in and only lose one additional day of screen of time. Or I will have to call a locksmith and you will lose a month's worth of screen time and pay for the locksmith. Give him a minute or two to think about it and then go ahead with option number two.

I assume you got in the house ... how so?
