Parental controls acting weird and changing randomly. Since the iOS 16 update, my husband and I have been having trouble with the parental controls. Screen time controls are now in two locations and they don’t always match. My kids will have down time turn off sporadically. The times set for downtime are sometimes different. Has anyone else seen concerns?

Screen Time + Roblox issue in macOS I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone else has experienced this issue. When my son's screentime comes to an end, and he's playing Roblox on his Mac Mini, if he requests for additional time, his screen will start to flip rapidly between Roblox and the screentime "time out" screen, creating a glitching effect. I understand that Screentime seems to be intended for iOS & iPadOS, so our millage may vary when utilizing for Mac applications. One semi work around we've found is when the "time out" screen comes up, he gets his iPad and requests it from that, which in turn will open up his mac mini again. Admittedly I would say this has only worked successfully for us about 70% of the time. Of course what I usually do is simply tell him to shut down the device when I feel he's had enough time. I'm honestly just more curious if anyone else has come across this glitch and if any solutions have been found. Thanks!
