[quote=Anonymous]My parents were loving but laid back. They were relatively strict, but clearly had confidence in me to do the right thing so gave me a lot of freedom. I remember them jokingly insisting I would be annoyed at them as a teenager and going out of my way to prove them wrong about that (reverse physchology at its best). Granted, I was a good, rule-following kid (chicken or egg, it's hard to say) but we had a good relationship my entire life. Even my brother, the family 'black sheep' who was more inclined to challenge them loved them both deeply and is now very close with my one surviving parent. I think the keys were consistency about family rules but also good humor and a clear respect and interest in us as individuals.[/quote]
