Well my dad wasnt in my life, but my mom was super lenient. She was the kind of parent who didnt really give a curfew- i would sometimes leave the house at like midnight to go hang out with my friends.. She was that parent who would ground you, but then forget she had 10 minutes later... The ONLY thing my mom was strict about was that I could not walk outside alone at night.. she used to say if your gonna have s** let me know, ill put u on birth control, if you are going to drink dont drink hard alcohol...

They are really irritating, but if I had to choose one, I'd go with strict.

Mom was the disciplinarian and dad was the one I went to to get out of mom's punishments.

when I was young.. my dad .. was not around.. and my mom.. was not around...

I was passed around.. from friends, to my uncles, to my aunts .. to my grandmas.. to my friends... to my other friends....

I've always lived off of other people.
so I guess neither? when my mom didn't give a sh1t and my dad couldn't do anything about it =l

My parents didn't care that I was alive until they realized that I was only source of income when they are older, so if I have to choose one. I would say lenient then strict, but always dumb.
