Veritaas: So how strict should a parent(s) be, in your opinion?
that's just it... it used to be a society ruled by iron fist parents where kids had no voice ... they were prefered seen and not heard... now it's gone the other way, where parents want to be their kids friend... yeah right!! ... respect is something parents must earn and kids know exactly who is aggressive in an iron fist kind of way that doesn't earn respect and passive parenting where the parents are permissive with strict being hardly anywhere in sight, which doesn't earn respect either...
for me, it's been a balance of a firm but fair attitude as a parent... it's the way I got my kids respect at least so I ain't complaining

I don't think they need to be strict.
I just believe that they should devote more time to their children.

Bringing up a decent person has nothing to do with strictness. You have to be a wise, bright, nice person yourself with lots of patience to teach your kid life.
I am proud of my little one too, lovely happy soul, top student, young musician, very tolerant and wise....she had her granny as a role model

totally agree, as i have said before myself having served in the Royal Air Force bring back national service for ALL school leavers, they will soon learn discipline and respect.Did not do me any harm and to be honest it was a great time and my only regret is that I did not stay in the forces.

I raised 5 children by myself. There were times I had to be strict with them (especially having 4 girls). However, it took a lot of love, a lot of patience, some discipline, a lot of hugs and tears, a sense of humor and a whole lot of laughter, a whole lot of praying and late night talks, and a lot of my time to raise my kids. However, it paid off. They are now responsible young adults with families of their own.
Respect is a two way street. I am glad I had my kids when I did. And yes I believe that nowadays parents aren't allowed to be parents because that has been taken away by society in general.

Sadly this is NOT an uncommon thing.What's even more shocking,although again not uncommon,is watching kids curse their parents out in the middle of a store when they want something.

i have four teenagers. i dont think it is "strictness" as much as communication, honesty (with them, with self) and FOLLOW THROUGH. that, to me, is what is a probelm. is when a parent doeesnt follow through with the situation. Parenting can be so tedious and repetitive you want to hit your head against the wall sometimes 
it is being there every day, every hour, whether you feel like it or not, and if something comes up, as it will, it is talking about it openly, deciding on a course of action, it can be good to try to do this together, and then following through on this, whether you are in the mood or not. its being selfless and there for them. i see probeelms with alot more parents than i do with their kids. kids want structure and boundaries no matter how much they resist them.

I sat down and explained to my daughter why,what she did wrong,why she should not do it.Its all in how they are raised.A child needs to understand the reasons,its called teaching them right from wrong.

I found that if you are respectful and listen to your kids, your kids will be respectful to you and others. You are the parent and it's your job to be their safe, loving and understanding place... plus you getting dibs on the last word is helpful.
