Short YouTube monologue (Dr Ana-Maria Temple) about parenting challenges, focusing on controlling children's snack consumption. The speaker uses a candid anecdote: parents supply snacks (e.g., Costco-size goldfish) and thus are responsible when kids overeat — "You cannot fool the kids...If they're eating goldfish, it's because you brought the goldfish in." The tone is self-reflective and humorous.

You cannot fool the kids. They know. So I'm like, but if it's not in the house, you know, most kids that we're talking about, they don't have a driver's license and they don't have money. If they're eating goldfish, it's because you brought the goldfish in. You know, when I was annoyed with them that they ate too many goldfish, I had to have a moment. I'm like, wait a minute, wait a minute. Who's buying the Costco size? Oh, that's me. Oh, oh, wait a minute. Wait. Back to me. Problem.
