What I understand from many is that the parents have control over what their children do with their computers. I was in the same situation and we only have a Computer in the office, which was next to the living room.
I got fed up the ultimate powers of control that my parents held of this machine and after a year of saving up I bought my own computer. Problem solved. Their supreme powers of control over how I waste my time was rendered useless.
This was much inspired by my parent's unwillingness to buy me TV games at the age of 12. So I got them myself. Many a day was utterly wasted with that Nintendo. But that is why we live - to waste our time with things that makes us happy.
I quote police chief Wiggum from the Simpsons : "I say if it feels good, do it". And he is a cop, so we should listen to him. (Just look at how TV games have corrupted my mind into blending reality with cartoons...)
