Unless I'm missing something, like they become absolute monsters down the line on Tuesday or something, from my vantage point this is quite an easy fix.

I mean I also fixed their picky ass eldest kid who they raised as a vegan by getting her a Happy Meal. And to be clear, I was absolutely open and transparent the entire time that those were Chicken, ie a once-living animal, McNuggets. I'd noticed they're not raising the younger one as vegan, and I've also noticed they're feeding the eldest meat themselves now. I didn't even know McDonald's didn't carry vegan products like Beyond Meat McNuggets or Impossible McNuggets. The only option they presented was pancakes in the Happy Meal (spoiler alert, she doesn't like pancakes). It's not like I went out of my way to corrupt her.

I can't wait to again point out to my brother and sister-in-law tomorrow how easy parenting is.

Well clearly she is the spawn of Mephistopheles and I think you know what you have to do.
