Some of the arguments round here really sound like a Superheroes comic (Do it now or... thwock! Take that, villain! Ooof!) rather than the real world with its complexities and differences.

IME as soon as you have *kids* it becomes obvious that threats to behave do not work once the target is desperately unhappy. Better to prevent the unhappiness, even if that means compromising one's noble standards and having Chicken Nuggets for lunch ;-)

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
