00:00:00.000 My wife and I have been very clear with our kids.

00:00:01.980 We are not your friend.

00:00:03.080 We love you.

00:00:04.040 We are here to be parents.

00:00:05.180 We're here to be examples.

00:00:06.120 We're here to keep you safe.

00:00:07.040 I'm not your friend.

00:00:08.080 I can love you, but hey, we gotta be adults.

00:00:10.680 We gotta teach you some stuff

00:00:11.720 before you get out there in the world.

00:00:13.200 My kids are out of my house when they're 17 and 18.

00:00:15.660 That doesn't mean I don't care about them.

00:00:18.580 Stop trying to be your kid's best friend.
