hows your relationship with your dad? Is he being too strict an advantage or disadvantage?

My father was incredibly strict when I was growing up, although now he and I pretty much have a great relationship. We understand each other very well, and it's funny how much more I am like him than I originally thought. I thought that for me personally, it was a disadvantage, but for some other people it can have an opposite effect.

I envy you for having a great relationship with your dad. At first i think it was a disadvantage, but later on after my dad passed away, being strict wasnt bad after all.

HI there ...When I was a child I would have to say I thought he was strict. But being older and having children of my own I would have to say I had a dad that cared =) Best wishes Stacy

I personally don't like what my dad did to us. He left us without saying his reasons. But it is written in the Bible that you should honor your parents that's why I still respect him for that matter. Besides, I wouldn't be me without him. :D

We have great relationship... My father vis my berstfriend. I know my dad is not perfect... but I know what he is doing is for my sake. He is a disciplinarian... and he raised me with all his love. K\He've been a good father to me and a loving husband to my mom... He does not finish college but he never stops dreaming for our family... He have given me all the best thing that he could provide... And I grew up with much love and support from my loving parents.

When I was growing up I thought he was really strict. Now I am glad he was that strict. I learned so much from him, and my mom. We are so close that my husband and I take crusies with my mom and dad. The 4 of us have a ball, and I enjoy every minute because I know it could be our last cruise together.

My father passed away when i was only 12 but i can remember that he was a very leniant man he didnt really ever get angry and was always good hearted. There wasnt a strict bone in his body so if he were still alive today i might not be who i am because my mother was strict and i obviously would of turned to him instead, for the leniency.

When I was living with my parents, he was very strict. Now that I am out, on my own, married and a mother, he is very open with me. We are starting to develop an adult relationship now. Instead of me always being his little baby girl. It is nice to be able to talk about adult things with him.
