This year, Netflix wants to help you start 2016 off right by lying to your kids.

The company knows that children can be a major buzzkill—but those little complainers are likely going to want to usher in the New Year before going to bed. What’s a party-craving parent to do?

Netflix to the rescue! Just put on one of their kid-friendly-countdowns early in the night and tell your kids they made it ’till midnight. Hey, why even wait? Maybe you could trick them into thinking that the sun is staying up late, too, and buy yourself an entire evening off.

Unfortunately, party pooping commenters on Reddit think the company’s altruistic offer is a little weird:

They also pointed out a problem with the plan: lots of kids know how to read clocks (especially the digital kind).

One commenter suggested that the only way to really pull it off is to change the time on every single electronic device in your house that might give you away—clearly much easier than either deciding to let the kids stay up or creating honest bedtime boundaries.

Here’s to parenting in 2016!
