Jimmy Carr nails brutal parenting truth in 25 seconds:
"I want to be kind to my kids… but what they want is McDonald’s, ice cream, TV, video games.
Downstream? Fat, stupid kids.
Who wants fat, stupid kids? No one.
So you have to be kind to their potential — not their immediate wants.
That means broccoli, homework, walks, exercise.
Boring now.
Kind later."

The hardest "no" is often the deepest love.
Where do you draw the line between being "fun" and being truly kind to your kids’ future selves?
