[quote=Anonymous]My parents were very strict, said no to most things, made me miserable, and they think they were great parents, my mother especially. I am strict with my daughter in that she must say please and thank you and thank you for having me when leaving a friend's house. I am strict in that when I tell her to do something she'd better hop to. But I do not hit. I do not rule by fear. I try very hard to not kill her spirit. I try to say yes to anything that's reasonable, and yes to everything when we're on vacation. If I am okay with the kid she wants to hang out with I say yes to being with them, and help her work out the details of it, unlike my mother who made me answer seven questions before she would decide whether or not I could get together with someone. I think my daughter is growing up happier than I did.[/quote]
