My dad was extremely strict. I had two older brothers, there were two sets of rules in our house, one for the boys and mine. I will say though, he is the most incredible dad ever, there are rules for a reason and I'm thankful he had them.

I would always complain and say "It's not fair that the boys curfew is later than mine!" His answer "Life's not fair."

@Kuuipo: you're a strict mom?! I would never have guessed, you always seem so nice :)
Report as
I am nice, but I'm strict. My kids are great, but there has to be rules. When you see me explaining/talking to a kid on here, that's how I talk to my kids. I know I'm old, but I still vividly remember being 14...it's not easy.
Report as
That's the same thing with my mom ;) She's nice, but still very strict. :)
Report as
I could see you being strict, but loving Kuuipo. That's what children need!
Report as
Let's just hope I'm balancing it right. All I really want is for them to have a better life than me...don't take that wrong, I love my life...just as a parent, we want our kids to better. Does that make sense?
Report as
Of course!

I understand... My mom says that a lot... :)

My dad was extremely strict, but that was only when he was around. i grew up jumping for joy when he was gone. its a shame, but i know it could have been worse, my mom was/is the strength in my life that i couldnt have done without.

I'm most certainly not a strict dad! XD No, my dad's not strict. Right now he just went in the back porch. He was in the kitchen singing, making coffee, and annoying me. Now he's harassing the dog. XD

Both of my parents are pretty laid back, but my mom's more strict in some things than others.

My dad was strict, even mean at times. I used to be strict with my kids but I found it much easier to be laid back and casual about stuff.

I have two very lively, curious kids - especially my daughter, who goads on my son. My personality is basically opposite my daughter. I'm quiet, she's talkative, etc. If I didn't learn to pick my battles I would go insane. So if, for example, the kid's sitting on the coffee table but she's coloring a picture and otherwise being quiet and good, there's a good chance I'm going to let it slide, especially if the rest of the day has been a whirlwind.
Report as
Yeah that's the mentality I adopted eventually. I found while I was married I felt I needed to be this tyrant cause that's how she always made it seem. She was always like I'm getting your dad bla bla, but now I realize kids are kids it isn't worth freaking over everything.

To an extent, I think "strict" is a matter of opinion. I'm sure my stepson thinks his dad is strict, but he really isn't. He doesn't have regular chores, per se, but when he is asked to do something, we expect him to do it (like clearing branches out of the yard after a storm, etc.) He's fifteen. He has that skewed teenage perspective where he thinks he does a lot of work, even though we really don't ask a lot. Just enough to help out, pull his own weight, so to speak. He also thinks his dad is always getting on his case too much about how he talks to people, but the fact is he just hasn't learned yet how to speak respectfully to others. Dad's just trying to prepare him for the "real" world. At the end of the day, I know they really love each other, and hopefully it will be appreciated later on.

My dad wasn't strict until he let my only sibling go out driving in the dark and he died in a car crash. Now he is really strict and won't let me go anywhere. I guess it's for the better, though. I can't die. I'm the only thing my dad has because my mom left him when I was 2.

My Dad was caring but not strict. He believed in discipline until my stupid sister ran away from home. After that, he was afraid to give me any rules for fear I would run away. too. No way! I knew when I had it good. Only thing is, since I had no rules I felt like he didn't care and that made me sad.
