Long-term memory isn't the issue anyways, but rather short-term.
Babies/toddlers aren't mindless, and if you change your behavior it will tilt them and trash the relationship entirely.
They'd most likely hate you and resent you as rather than being a nice playmate and basically an equal, you're now no different than the other parent and dictate over them to some extent at least.
I treat my lgf as if we're equals and always have. I always listen to her and never force what I want on her, I never boss her around or pressure her, I play with her and do what she wants if I don't mind, etc.
If I suddenly started being like a normal person and telling her no, refusing to go play what she wants (or at all), kicking her out of my bed rather than cuddling, and simply didn't value her opinion she'd hate me and we'd no longer be friends most likely. Rather than talking about when she's upset and knowing I'll work with her and try my best to make her happy, she'll begin to lump me in with everybody else who undermines her and doesn't really care or try.
That's just how humans are. If you switch your dynamics, especially to the negative, the previous relationship will die entirely.
