Roger: Son, I am begging you to let me watch football. All right, I am politely asking you to let me watch football. Jason: Ok, I am now ordering you to let me watch football! Sweetheart, can you give me a hand here? Jason: Dad, who do you think suggested I play video games all week? Andy: Jason shhh! That was our little secret remember?
Psychologically, Roger doesn’t want to appear as the evil parent. Roger hopes to compromise as much as possible so that Jason doesn’t have hate or resentment for his game being taken away. Or Roger is just a big weenie. BTW Andi, cash works better than little secrets.
