In being strict, you were able to control.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't think that I could ever be a strict dad. I never grew up with anybody strict in my life... I'm not saying I'm a role model by any means or anything. I think the fact that I wasn't told what not to do all the time - my spirit kind of told me things that I shouldn't - I got to develop on my own. It's part of your common sense.
My parents were always very strict, and they gave me the right beliefs in how to treat people. It was very strict and all about morals - I try to pass that on to my own children.
My parents were very, very, very strict.
My mom was definitely very strict with me.
You can only control what you can control.
The only secret to being in control is to have it in the beginning. Retaining control is still hard, but obtaining control is virtually impossible.
My parents were strict and taught me the proper fundamentals that I would use in my life. They taught me commitment to work hard.
The way I was parented did affect my parenting - probably in the reverse. My dad was pretty strict, and the next generation probably wants to be less strict.
My mom was very strict when I was growing up. I could not talk to boys until I was 18. I had to study and work hard.
My parents weren't very strict. They've always trusted me to be independent and make my own decisions. There wasn't really anything to rebel against.
