Parental Control Access Schdule

What would the following access schdule look like?

  • Friday starting at 6pm to Sunday ending at 8pm

Reason i'm asking is because I set up a three day schedule (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) which seemed to work as expected, but my kid is not able to start a movie at 11:15pm on Saturday night for example when he should be able to. My understanding is that when you set up a schdule for Saturday say between1pm and 3pm, then access will not be allowed for that user on on any time outside of that. I think i understand that, but what i need help on however is to cover the times where I am okay with them starting a movie....say at 11:30pm on Saturday, but it seems the schedule times don't allow anything past 11pm.

The schdule i actually configured is the following:

  • Friday: 6pm to 11pm
  • Saturday:12am to 11pm
  • Sunday: 12am to 8pm

I pretty much have to delete the entire schedule to get a movie to play if my son wants to start a movie at 11:15pm on Saturday

And before folks criticize me about why my child is allowed to watch so late, it's because he likes to fall asleep to movies and because his screen time is limited so much during the week, i'm giving him two days where he can get his watching in and i'm fine with that. Let the kid enjoy his movies.

Anyway, hoping you can help. My timezone is central standard time if that helps.

Not sure why you'd only see until 11pm, I see a 12am at the top and the bottom of the list so using the 12am at the bottom would be the whole day. Can you share a screenshot of the list of times on your end?

Okay, it looks like it's my ignorance at fault. I do see the two instances of 12am in the dropdown list. I was actually trying to select 12am for the start time and 12am for the end time, but i think my issue was that i was selecting the same 12am instance value for both start and end times and getting an error about the ending time needing to be greater than the starting time. So your response was very helpful. Considering your input, i was able to create the following access schedule

 

So i think this will give me what i'm looking for.
