If you would ask me i would say my mom. she always wants discipline in house, always wants us to study good, get good grades, to behave properly. On the other hand my dad is a kind of chill person, though very serious for our studies and all but never bothers to secure top grades because his theory is that when he never got highest grades why to bother kids hehehe.. whenever we make any mistakes we share it with our dad first so that he can neutralize and nullify my mother's mood. I hope my mother is not reading all this ;)

well, my hubby is way stricter with our kids than i am and when i was little it was my dad that was stricter than my mom. i tend to cave if our daughters want something and even though they are older (12 and 16) i still do.

My mother is much strict than to my father. When I was a kid she spank us if we are misbehave and we did bad things. Spanking is her way to discipline us that's why we are more afraid of our mother than to our fahter.

My mom is more strict than my dad. If I go out, it's always my mom complaining. If I'm wasting too much money it is always my mom complaining. Also she wants more than my dad that I have good grades and study very well. I think my dad supports my mom in all her choices, but he doesn't like to be mad at his children I think about such things.

Hey seeiah then I would say we share so many common things :) same is true for my dad, always supporting her except when it comes to these things of getting strict with children, he always then takes our side :)

I am very strict with my son (MOM) and my husband (Dad) just lets him go and hardly ever says anything to him. I am really strict, make him do his homework, pick up after himself, tell him to take a bath, and really listen. My son has issues also and he needs this guidance, strict structure or he is all over the place (mindwise) and very impulsive. I also like him to learn right from wrong and learn the rules. My mother wasn't really strict, but more overprotective of me. It was hard for me to do anything without her telling me no, I couldn't go here or there, and many school functions she wouldn't let me go to either.

In my family my mother is very nervous and overprotective and my father is pretty strict. My father has a temper and when I was a child I was always afraid of his anger, because sometimes he got angry very fast. My father worked very hard when I was younger, when he got back home, he had to rest, and my mother always told us to be quiet so that he didn't get angry at my brother and me. It was my mother who helped me with my homework, but grades etc were more important to father than to my mother.
