This feels like malicious compliance to me. If I was your kid, I’d be pissed if you felt entitled to attempting to assert dominance like this.
This is how your kids start resenting you as they grow up. Consider treating them like they’re a part of a family unit that respects boundaries instead of shoving a material possession their way to shut them up. Growing up feeling like an inconvenient burden fucks up a lot of kids in this world.
