You can’t always control what your children or family do. You are in control of what you buy.

I have 3 kids and they are still young and I barely control how they behave :) It will be even more terrible later

You can (and indeed must) control a lot about whether family, especially children, make you happy.

Also many people don't seem to control what they buy.
