What are your parents like?

mom was very hard on me for grades but was lax on curfew and drinking as long as she knew where i was. she can be a little controlling (without realizing it) and i see that in me alot.

dad was totally lax

My Dad was strict, bur more so with my sister than with me. My parents were married but we didn't really have a good relationship.

My Mom...is GREAT. She was somewhat strict, but in a good way. She wasn;t over the top, and I had lots of respect for my mom, os I'd never really want to disappoint her.

I hope that I am half the mom to my kids that my mom is to me and my sister

My mom was strict, dad laid back.
Now, they are grandparents to my nephew, and are so laid back. Its awesome.
Strict= with curfew and language..Guess we let a few words slip here and there..LOL..ooh, and our grades.

It is hard to say because my childhood was so odd. Up until I was 11 I would say that my parents were not too overbearing and strict. Then my older brother was killed and they obvioulsly got a little more cautious and protective. All in all I would have to say that other then the over protective part they were great parents.

growing up, my parents were somewhat strict, until they divorced when i was 11. I moved out at 15 to live with my grandmother and she was very laid back. I see my parents now and they treat my brother total opposite of how they treated me when I was growing up. Hes 14 and curfew isnt until 11. I wasnt even allowed to walk two house down after dark by myself.

Anyways, now I think they are very laid back. My mom and dad are both big partiers, but thats prob because they are still young. My moms new husband acts like a grandpa, and tries to enforce these stupid rules like no one is allowed in the house when hes not home, yet we are 20 + years old.

Both my mother and my step mother were abusive and cruel to me. That goes beyond strict. No food after 8pm even though I was out at school or such. No lights after 8pm and so forth.

My father...
He's my saving grace. Snuck me food when I was hungry, picked me up from school when I was sick but sent anyway. Passed me money for a coke at school games.

I was a good kid. Mostly because I never wanted to cause my father trouble.

My grandma (dad's mom) was strict but with me she was also very instructive if that makes sense.

My grandpa (dad's dad) VERY lay back. Always giving us candy. His wife (my step grandmother) was an alocholic but very happy drunk.

Great Grand Ma (dad's grandma) REALLY strict. She was always mean to my grandpa and sorta blew off my father as he was the youngest but she seemed to want to know me. Frankly she scared me. She died when I was 20 or so and she was over 103.

My grandmother (real mom's mom) was a #$tch. She and her daughter (my real mom) had so much in common. She died asking for my forgiveness, so I hear. Too bad she never talked to me on her own. Could do something with the fact she helped burn all my childhood pictures and memories. grr

My grandfather (real mom's dad) was murdered before I was born. He owned a cookie factory. I hear he was a harda55 as well. But I never knew him.

All i can say is Thank God for my father and brother.
