If I were a parent I would try to be firm/ lenient parent to my child. I would kind of have a mix between my parents. Growing up my mom was the more strict one in the family. She always had like a strong say in what ever decision made. My dad was more chill, he would just go based off what my mom said or if she wasn’t around he wouldn’t care as long as I told him what I was doing and a time frame I would be back .So they kind of balanced each other out and that’s is the type of parent I would like to be. I wouldn’t want to be super strict because every child is different and some may take it as discipline and others might see it as punishment. Being too strict and not letting someone do something or just have any space of privacy can kind of ruin a parent/kid relationship. I would not be just walked all over either, because th n you have no authority over them and they become a loose cannon doing what ever they want when they want. That’s how stuck up snotty kids are made in my opinion. You can not be too strict or to easy to let things slide.
