    Aww, tell me about it @yellowmango there are no perfect parents nor perfect children, it is a illusion. if they are too perfect life becomes boring. there is so much to do in the grey in between the black and white. and that is why i always say that we are a imperfectly perfect bunch..

    I am pretty sure you have wonderful kids.

    and on that perfect kids, have you ever thought the neighbour's home looks cleaner, the friend's kid look more well mannered and well rounded..it is that we raise the bar too high when it comes to our own brood..it is never enough, i tell you...ask any parent and it would be the same story sans a few who blow their own trumpet...

    We should not be so strict that they feel they are listened to/their wishes are not given importance. They should not think Mom wants it her own way.

    We should not that lenient that they can do any thing and can get away with it. Like they should n't think ok, mom will be angry but that's is OK.

    It is so tough to be a parent.

    We as children raised that way. As a kid I didn't like it much.
    May be when they come outside it is easy for parents to manage it that way.

    I like to parent within boundaries. As a parent I am learning too. As children, my kids are learning too. It is not about being strict for me. It is about setting boundaries/limits. In everything there are boundaries, in terms of being free or a restricting parent.
