Picture this: you leave the kids with their grandparents and set them up on Disney+ to watch a film while you finally get some time to yourselves.
Your mum, who has always loved Leonardo DiCaprio, spots a film and puts it on to keep the young ones entertained.
Twenty minutes later you get a call and you rush home from the restaurant in the hope that you can turn off the TV before one of your kids tries to sell you a pen, or asks what Jonah Hill keeps putting up his nose.
Well that ridiculous scenario could soon be a reality after Disney, which to be fair already added the likes of Deadpool to its film roster, announced it was adding The Wolf of Wall Street to its streaming platform on 1 April.
The 18-rated film features a reported 715 swear words, which saw Hill break the record previously held by Samuel L.Jackson, while there's also several X-rated scenes with Margot Robbie.

Jordan Belfort, the American former stock broker who inspired the popular movie, has had plenty of funny reactions over the years when talking about the film based on his life, including when he was asked at a Q&A to sell an audience member a pen.
The 62-year-old has now issued a warning on Twitter to any parents who might be thinking of showing the film to their kids on Disney+.
He wrote: "When you tell your kid it’s time to go to bed and they reply, “I’m not f*****g leaving!” you can thank Disney!"
Belfort is of course referencing the iconic scene from the film where DiCaprio initially announces he will be leaving the company before changing his mind in a speech which has inspired probably millions of memes over the 12 years since it was first released.

Now, of course, it's down to the parents to monitor whatever their kids are watching on the telly, and Disney+ is now home to a range of shows and films that are for a variety of ages.
So, whatever your opinions on the film, it's probably one you should enjoy on Disney+ when the kids have gone to bed.
And make sure you've got those parental controls set up, otherwise you could be in for a nasty surprise such as your son banging on his chest like every other guy did back when it first came out.
