I don’t particularly like this one. Not sure why?
To me, it seems to say that your questionable actions/tactics may be excused if you achieve your desired result – exactly the message you try to avoid sending as a parent…
Pros:
It’s concise, oft-repeated and catchy.
Cons:
Underlying message not exactly great.
