I do not consider myself strict. I suppose I allow a lot of stuff that other parents don't. I do not tolerate disrespect or disobedience or unsafe activities or dishonesty. Outside of that, I suppose I am rather flexible.

When the line is crossed by one of the boys, my response is harsh.

We don't consider ourselves strict. We just expect high standards of our boys. The rules of the house are clear, no disobedience, no dishonesty, no disrespect and hard work and attention at school and church. If one of these rules are broken they get well spanked with a strap we keep for the purpose. You have to set the standard of behaviour you feel is right for your family, it's not for anybody else to decide.

Unfortunately corporal punishment is banned in schools were we live with a resultant decline in student standards. That makes it even more important that parents maintian a disciplined environment in the home. That's not strict, just common sense.
