So the title says it all. How strict are/were your parents? Which one of your parents is the more strict one (or both). How are/were they with your studies, chores, going out, friends and such. My mum is such a control freak, she is always on at me about doing studies, being organised and smart. I concentrate well on my studies and get good grades and yet she wants me to be perfect. I already told her where I plan to go ahead in my life and that I don't need perfect grades to get there. But she doesn't care and is becoming so annoying. My dad is the complete opposite, he just asks me if my studies are going well and that's that. How are/were your parents?

And I wasn't sure if this was meant to go in Blogs or not, so I apologise if this is the case.

My parents are not strict at all.

I'm allowed to go the parties, get a tattoo, etc etc, things some of friends can't do that they want to do, but I have no interest in.

I focus on my studies.

My parents aren't strict at all I'm more strict on myself than they are

I wish I had all of your parents. My mum would slap me if she saw that I got a tattoo

Pretty strict. I wasn't allowed out of the house by myself till I was like 15/16 unless it was for school Now that I'm 17 they don't care about what I do.

For other things, they weren't that strict about things as long as it got done.

Not very strict. Probably because I almost never do anything off limits, if I was a bad kid I don't know what they would be like.

African parents. Need I say anything else?

They were strict, but bearable.

Oh sweetie, I know just how you feel

I had a reasonable curfew of like 12AM for school days and 2:00AM for weekends when I was in school and once I was 18 they didn't care how long I stayed out.

They let me drink and go to parties. The only thing they would kill me on is drug use though

Besides that I have all the freedom I want.

Exactly this.

I know some people who'd kill for my parents.

My parents idea of reasonable is a 9:30 curfew, if not, hell would break loose.

Um, well since my parents split up my dad is kinda a pushover but if i ever wanted to go out at night he always has to speak to the parents of where im going and stuff. He is also very pro-academics and since im seen as the "smart one" i have to do well. My mum is in some ways stricter with looking after me however i dont have a lot of experience with her

OMG!! I thought I was the only one!!!

They never cared what I did.

Nope they weren't strict, I was a laid back go with the flow child. I never really did anything that was insane so it was all good, but they're still my parents so it was like make sure you get your homework done and getting to school on time things that were important.

They are strict

My parents were not strict AT all. There was this tacit understanding between them and us, things that we were allowed to do and things that weren't. They were very morals oriented so we just followed their example. The rules were not defined but we never behaved awfully. That's funny because some of our neighbors were so strict and their children were always doing the most awful things.

Lol I remember when my mother heard that I might be in love with a guy so she called me in her room, I was expecting a lecture about how I was too young to date or how I will be forbidden to go out but instead we had the sex talk, it was the most hilarious and awkward thing ever.

I ****ING HATE THIS! I tried to be a smarty for a year! and it's a hell, everybody expecting you to do well, and pushing you and if you do one thing wrong, hell would break loose! I **** that **** and become a dumbass again, it was so stressful

They were not strict at all. I had a very relaxed childhood.
