    Yeah right. I’m going to try every spy trick in the book so they learn some goddamn common sense.

      And they’ll just learn they can’t trust you. So instead of coming to you when they have a problem, they’ll go to someone else, probably online. That sounds way worse than them failing and coming to you for help.

        I mean, I’m just going to do it as a dad joke, like set their background as my face so they learn to lock their device.

          Lol, ok that would be funny. But if it’s completely under your control, that novelty would wear off quickly and they’d quickly stop trusting you.
