Now, look, I do believe in kids being kids and getting to have fun.
I think we ought to let our kids have fun and run around and play,
but we should also teach them life is not just games and fun.
This is not the way parenting should work.
Let your kids goof off until they're 18 years old,
and then at 18, flip the switch.
Now you're a full-grown adult expected to do everything.
You know they have to actually reach that point?
You have to slowly bring them along.
If you treat them like a five-year-old till they're 18
and then just try to flip the switch, guess what?
They're still going to act like a five-year-old.
