Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.

Getting kids to behave the way we want is the biggest challenge of them all, but our parents have a lot of sketchy hacks to mind control their children into submission, which I’m sure will have zero psychological consequences going forward:
“The worst thing I ever did was when my kids were 3 and 4. If they didn’t want to do something I wanted them to do, like go to bed, I’d say, well, why don’t we just flip a coin. Heads I win, tails you lose. That worked well for a few months, but when they finally caught on, they were really pissed.”—JohnU
