Mrs. Bee says that she will be less strict! I think I will be more strict. Or at the very least, I'm gonna keep the kids super busy so that they're too distracted to make trouble!
Are you going to be more or less strict than your parents?
-
My parents were strict, but let us be independent and free too.
We'll probably be more strict. -
I will be more strict than my mom and at least as strict as my dad. My dad and stepmom were really strict.
-
My parents were pretty strict, or I guess I should say sheltered. I guess it worked? I've never smoked or done any drugs and I didn't try alcohol until I was 20. I did however have pre-marital sex at 17 (it was with DH) and my mom flipped out, and still does to this day. I might be the same amount of strict, but maybe handle certain situations differently.
-
I will be just as strict. My parents were REALLY strict and I want to be like that, too. The hubs, though, will be the softy. LO has got him wrapped around her little finger.
-
My mom was WAY too strict so I will be less strict than her for sure.
-
Probably the same. My parents weren't very strict, but we were pretty good kids so they didn't have to be.
-
I will be just as strict as my parents. Someday they will thank me haha!
-
Less in some ways...but equally as strict in other ways. They had some weird rules growing up (or, rather, my mom did....)
-
I think I will be less strict in some ways but we'll probably be more disciplined in other ways. My dad was in the army and it sometimes felt like he was trying to parent that way, like almost having rules for the sake of rules.
-
In general, less strict.
-
Same level as my parents. Strict, but I turned out great with no arrests or serious f-ups. DH's parents didn't really parent and both of them got in trouble with the law as teenagers, and his sister is now in her 20s and out of control. Not just spoiled brat, but serious issues. So, we both have agreed to err on the side of more strict like my parent did with my brother and I. And I never hated my parents growing up because they were consistently strict since before I could remember.
-
I"ll probably be about the same, once my parents and I learned to communicate. I had curfews, but they were on point with my friend's. I'm going to be huge on open communication and honesty. That is what helped my mom and I survive my later high school years. She may not have agreed with my decisions, but she always knew where I was and what time I would be home, and that I would not be drinking/driving. That was their number 1 rule.
-
my parents weren't that strict, so i think i'll be stricter. my in-laws were MAJOR strict, so i think my hubby will be less strict.
-
It depends on what we're being strict about. In general, I think I will be more strict and he will be less strict. His Dad was in the military and ruled their house with an iron fist. Neither of us are push-overs, but we're also not "this is my house, these are my rules, there is no fluctuating with this" type of people.
-
I think I turned out great so I think I will just about the same as my parents but in a different way.
-
My parents (mostly mom) were sometimes unreasonably strict in my opinion. So I hope to be somewhat strict, but reasonably so, haha.
-
My parents were pretty strict up to a point, though once I could drive and had my own car, they let up a lot. I want to be just as strict as my parents because I feel like it worked out really well for me. Although I'll probably be MORE strict with my sons that my parents were with my brother. They let him do a lot more than me because he was a pretty big guy even as a kid so they figured he could take care of himself. I think that freedom might've gone to his head a little, so I want to try to avoid that with my children.
-
More strict than my parents! AGH! They meant well & I love them but they just didn't want to "rock the boat" & stayed out of things...I made it out & just taught myself everything it feels like but I worry my younger brother will be spoiled & into trouble...
