Who Dares Wins

My nephew had just one chance to avoid being grounded. He had to play 3 games of chess against his mother
and father, who would take turns to be his opponent. If he had to win 2 consecutive games in order to succeed, and his father was a stronger player than his mother, who should he play first?

His father. He must win the middle game to get out of it, so he should play his mother there. If he plays his father first, he has two chances to win.
On the other hand, if this were me, I'd thrash both of them since neither of them know how to play chess.
