Lauren's internet gets blocked at 8pm automatically, Lauren realises her iPad is pretty useless without internet, and is asleep by 9pm most nights. Occasionally get "STUART. WiFi" reminders to switch back on her WiFi, or with router scheduling her internet is automatically available from 7am.

Dad still enjoys toggling her WiFi from scheduled to blocked to here her shout downstairs if we've not heard from here in a while or its dinner time.
