Hi! My dad used to work overseas so my mom had to have a firm hand on us. I had a curfew and I had to go with the carpool going home. She's also the "watchdog" when it comes to my weight! LOL. She constantly watches what I eat because I have the tendency to get really fat really fast, thanks to a trait I inherited from my father's side. But when my dad retired, quite a few things changed. My curfew was extended, given the condition that I had someone to go home with in case I came home late. My parents have this issue about trust. Whenever I go out, I tell them the truth about where I'm going, who I'm with, etc. And if I had to go some place, I had to ask permission ahead of time so that they'll be prepared. :)

Definitely my mom. Everybody was afraid of her before, even my cousins. But now that we're older, she's afraid of us lol!

My father was definitely the stricter parent. My mom had a much calmer view of parenting then my dad. I think my dad believed that punishing would get us to behave better.

My parents hit a happy medium.When I was a child spanking was a part of life- but my parents were very fair-also very strict about some things. My dad had huge hands but they were very good for a cuddle or,when I was smaller a tickle.And he would rather talk to you than spank you.And let me say,I would have rather have had the spanking!He was so logical and when you're a kid,you don't want to think about what you did wrong or why.You did it cause you wanted to-whatever it was. In my whole life,my Dad spanked me 3 times,and only then because I'd done something that was dangerous to my health....like going into a creek alone and at the time,I did not know how to swim.(I think I scared him very much) My mother was also fairly strict but she would send us to our room to think about whatever we did wrong.
