自分が主人公になったつもりで表現しましょう。

ペットショップに息子と出かけたあなた。息子はある動物がとても気に入り絶対に手に入れたいようです。あなたは買ってあげるつもりですが、しっかりと最後まで面倒を見るよう注意します。私なら「どうしてもそのカエルを飼いたいならそうしなさい。でもたくさん世話をしてあげなくちゃいけないのよ。そして私はあなたが世話をやめるのを絶対に許しません。生態系に有害かもしれないから。わかった?」くらいでしょうか。

[英語で表現してみよう]

使用表現例
frog : カエル
care and attenion : 世話と注意
abandon : 世話をやめる
ecosystem : 生態系
harmful : 有害な

SIMPLE ANSWER

どうしてもそのカエルを飼いたいならそうしなさい。
If you insist on having that frog, go ahead.
 
insist on は「~を強く主張する」。
 
でもたくさん世話をしてあげなくちゃいけないことを覚えておきなさい。
But you should remember that frogs require a lot of care and attention.
 
frogs require … は「カエルは~を必要としている」。
 
そして私はあなたが世話をやめるのを絶対に許しません、生態系に害がある可能性があるから。わかった?
And I’ll never allow you to abandon it because that can be harmful to the ecosystem. Got it?
 
allow you to abandon は「you が abandon に進むことを許す」。ここでは「世話をするのをやめる」というニュアンスで使われています。
 

ADVANCED ANSWER

わかった、わかった。もしどうしてもモルモットが欲しいと言うなら、止めたりしないよ。
OK, OK. If you insist on getting a guinea pig, I won’t stop you.
 
guinea pig は「モルモット」。
 
でもいいかい、モルモットを飼うことはとても大変なことだし努力もしなくちゃいけない。
But I’m telling you now that keeping a guinea pig requires a lot of dedication and effort.
 
I’m telling you は「よく聞いて欲しい、言っておくが」。dedication は「献身」。
 
そして世話をやめることは絶対に許さないよ。生態系を脅かす可能性があるからね。わかったかな?
And there’s no way I’ll allow you to abandon it because that can threaten the ecosystem. Understood?
 
there’s no way は「~することはできない・ありえない」という決まり文句。threaten は「脅かす」。
