Congrats! Indeed, it's truly the end of an era. What did you block though? I have a 17-year-old who has never had anything blocked. Always PC though. never seemed to be an issue.

Not OP, but for me, I basically blocked staying up too late on a school night, and excessive time in game (not PlayStation though)

I had to do that with everything. We had to block the TV, the Internet, the PCs, the Xbox, and basically anything that could provide entertainment because my son would get up after we went to bed and stay up all night long. It was a frustrating phase for sure.

I feel lucky i never felt the need to block anything other than one year in middle school I had our entire Wi-Fi router shut off around 11pm for a couple of hours. That only lasted a couple of months.
If anything I’m relieved that don’t have to deal with the whole Parent Account with Child sub accounts. That whole set up is poorly implemented by Sony/PS in my experience… navigating the menus and accounts was torture over the years
