Here's another one for ya: we also forbade them from watching Barbie. They are, to this day, pissed about that hahaha.

And recently they confessed that they sneakily watched once in a while. :-D

So they got the boundary. Found it to be unjust. Tested it. Crossed it. Got away with it. Grew from that. All without having to steal lipstick, smoke joints, or drink themselves into a coma.

Honestly: wife and I are awesome at parenting.
