Basically around the 2000s we had a WinXP computer and each time I wanted to use it, either my mom or my dad had to turn it on. However they had to strike the key to enter the BIOS. Everytime when booting the PC. Then they would exit the BIOS and so Windows XP would boot normally.

Do you guys know if your parents also did that and why?

    My mom would have to come in and put a password into the BIOS to boot up when I got in trouble when I was younger.

    I was also punished by being made to go play outside with the neighborhood kids lol.

    They wouldn’t stop me from reading, and if they grounded me I’d just be like whatever, I have three new books from the library lol.

      That sounds… very familiar. I got through an alarming number of books in childhood through similar mechanisms.
