From Facebook:

Stick a lock through the holes on the end of electrical plugs when your kids get grounded. It saves you from having to physically remove items from their rooms.

YES! I saw that on Facebook too! That's something I'm sticking in my back pocket in case SD ever lives with us.

I used to remove the power cords and take them with me to work for my own bios when they were on punishment.

I always just took a key piece of equipment/cord. SD would still use equipment when grounded from it, so if I took a piece with me, she couldn't use it AND she couldn't explain to daddy that it didn't work without getting into trouble.

That only works for things with detachable power cords or controlers. This idea is forbig items that cant be easily disabled.....like TVs in their bedrooms.

Maybe my SD20 is dumber than your average bear, but if it was the TV all I had to do was take the remote control. She didn't know how to operate the TV without it :jawdrop:
