Control, control, control. It is not right for anyone to try to control in this way. Stand your ground and simply say that it is unacceptable. To me it sounds nothing more than a punishment and an opportunity to exercise his dominance over the family. Little does he realize that by doing this he will only foster more resentment from the entire family. My H threatened to do the same with my son and that hit where it hurts because as with you this was and is his only outlet. If you take that away - what else do you have. I'm not even sure if compromise is the right action either, because by doing this you are giving him a sense of power and this may fuel future controlling type of behavior. How about you try to remove something he loves or insist he stop doing something he enjoys and see how he likes it?? Always different when the shoe is on the other foot.
