Did you grow up with strict parents?

I mean, we lived in the hood so they kind of had to be.

Yup and very controlling...though it only seemed to be with me.

@Henal Hardly seems fair.

@chrisCA I know, but not much can be done now.

@Henal You are an adult now.

More overprotective than anything. My dad was also a devout Catholic which put a damper on things.

Mine were strict about honesty, family loyalty and disrespect, but other than those, not really.

I started out with a horribly abusive meth monster father and a brain fried mother, my adoptive parents were strict but they never got a chance to enforce it because I was so happy to have someone I could love that disappointing them was the last thing I was going to allow to happen. I fussed at them about their medicines and getting enough sleep.
@TexChik Well that's a great thing that you found someone to love and care for you ❤️.

Not too strict

Yes and imma try not to be as strict with mine while still not letting them run the show and walk all over me 🙂 but definitely no need to be as strict as my parents were

Not exactly. They could be protective, but they weren't strict disciplinarians and they gave me a lot of freedom.

my parents were pretty lax with me. i wasn't the best behaved kid but i guess i never gave them a reason to be strict.

They were only strict with me since I'm the oldest. The rest of them got to do whatever they like.

Yes, they were very controlling and a bunch of narcissists. They've controlled every decision in my life

Yes, my parents were strict. Keep in mind my mom was 38 & my dad was 57 when I was born. They lived in the past.

Oh Yes, my parents were super strict. I got my last spanking at 17
Lynn1976 · 46-50, F
@BeautifulLibra 17 is very old to get one. My last was at 13 and I thought I was too old. But I have come to realize that there are many who got spanked right up to the age you did. 😯

Dad was a sergeant and mom was a first lieutenant.

Yes, and looking back, I'm glad they were.

I guess it’s relative. They were more strict with their first three kids than with their youngest, and especially less so with my niece, whom they basically raised. They admit they made mistakes in the beginning and used the way they were parented as their guide, which makes sense.

@bijouxbroussard My dad calls it First Pancake Syndrome. Says my brother didn't flip right because the pan wasn't hot enough. 😂
@SwampFlower 😂👍🏽
