[quote=Anonymous]My parents were extremely lax, hands-off, consumed with their own lives. Most rules weren’t really enforced or if they were it wasn’t for long. I am stricter than them but not a super strict parent. My kids will never get away with even a quarter of what I did, but they will always know how much I love them. On the other hand, DH grew up in a very authoritarian household. Not much love or affection. He also is pretty authoritarian but not as much as his parents. And he is loving to our DCs. He recognizes what he wants to give them that he didn’t have. Yet he still believes in spanking which baffles me because he was beaten with a switch. He seems to think he’s better for it. So it’s kind of a toss up in my house. We both want to strike a balance between doing right what our parents did wrong, and ensuring our kids stay on the up and up. We have different approaches to it though.[/quote]
