For home use (considering spoofing etc. ...) it might be sufficient to try a combination of firewall rule schedules [1] and firewall aliases to be used in firewall rules. One alias might contain IP/FQDN of your computers. You'll use them as source in the firewall rule/s allowing full access all the time. Similarly, another alias would define your kids' computers. This alias will again be the source in two firewall rules blocking some domains or limiting times of the day. Then, in a third alias you would list all domains you want to block. Obviously, this alias will be used as destination in another firewall rule and the source in this rule will be your kids' alias. In yet another firewall rule you would define a pass rule during certain times of the day, applying a schedule in this rule (=> advanced features). As source you'd again apply your kids' alias. (Since your kids connect with DHCP and you don't, it should probably be ok to use a LAN range instead of a kids' alias as source and placing this firewall rule after the full access rule.) Carefully designing aliases, schedules and rules, and also considering firewall rule processing order [2] should probably get you reasonably close to what you want ...
