-

-

Kids are crafty...

If you ask me, it'd be a good thing if the non-tech savy kid is forced to learn how to spoof a MAC or find another way around your internet ban.
-
Pfsense can do a really good job of this sort of thing. However, pfsense does need to be physically secured. Lets hope the kids don't just go down and keep restoring defaults.

well you can just make a default rule that any device other than listed on the alias will restrict their internet access after the specified time. It's not really that hard, no mac spoofing can bypass it, but a VPN can easily bypass it but there's no free VPN service out there that offers lag-free gaming so your kid needs to pay for it or you can just blacklist the possible VPN IPs that he uses, until he rans out of option of free VPN. Just dont block port 80, 443 and 53, you dont want your kid interrupted while doing a legitimate school homework overnight.
your kid might try to spoof your whitelisted mac addresses though
if everything fails, isolate his PC on a entire subnet :P
