Ok, several things here.
1) If your computers do not have Remote Desktop enabled, your router does not have port forwarding enabled, or you have strong passwords (this is most important regardless), then there is little worry about someone hacking into your computers themselves. However, it might be possible to steal your wireless internet.
2) To prevent theft of internet, you can enable the router to accept only connections from specified MAC addresses. This will ensure that your router only accepts connections from machines that you specify. This will make your router very secure and perhaps ease your parents' fears.
3) The likelihood of someone hacking your WEP key is unlikely, but it is real, unfortunately. There is no way to make old DS games function through WPA or WPA2.
