What kind of mother would you be? Options

[*mishyerr*]

We all complain about how our parents are "too-strict" or whatnot. So, explain what kind of mom you would be! Talk about the rules, what grades they should have, when they can date, when the girl can wear makeup, what you would do ti punish them, what you'd like them to wear, etc...

I think I'd be a pretty cool mom. I'd let her date at age 14, wear makeup at 13 (or entering middleschool) (cause i'll be a makeup arist/fashion designer ;D) and her/his grades must be 85+. Punishment: taking away tv & internet. Curfew for teenager: 11:45.. parties are exceptions (1:00am) Thats all I can think of for now.

- Allowed a boy/girl friend whenever they want.
- Wear make-up more publicly when she goes to secondary school (11/12) but not too much
- Curfew ~ Younger then 11 = 8pm, 11 - 14 = 9pm, 15/16 - 10/11pm. After 16 - whenever as long as they tell me the time they'll be back.
- Punishment ~ Younger than 13 = Grounded. 13/14 + = Stuff they enjoy doing taken away.
- Schooling ~ Public school. Doesn't bother me.
- Piercings ~ Depends on what ones. Ears = Any age. Navel = 11 + Facial piercings = 14 +
- I'll go shopping with them to help decide their clothes.. and make sure they don't choose something too extreme. They can choose their own clothes when they're 13/14 but I'll decide whether they're appropriate enough for wearing.
- They can drink alcohol at special occasions, when they're 15 they can drink with their friends.
- Smoking not tolerated at all.
- Can try drugs but not make regular use of it to become addicted otherwise I'll kick their ass out of the house.
- Sleepovers allowed. Opposite sex's allowed to sleep over when they're 15.
- Bf/gf can sleep over from 15. They can sleep in the same room. They can be sexually active as long as they practice safe sex and don't disturb me.
- Grades ~ As long as their in the top 2 sets for the subjects and I don't get no bad reports home, I'm fine with them.
- Pocket money every week. Amount varies on what they've done throughout that week.
- I'll give them the things they need when they ask. I won't give them stuff just for the sake of them wanting it.
- Tell them that fighting isn't acceptable but if the other person hits you, by all means hit them back.
- I won't bring them up religiously as I myself aint religious but if they choose to be than they can, as long as they don't start saying "I can't do that because the bible(or something else) says I can't.
- Make sure they're active from a young age. Maybe join a sports team in junior school.
- I'd prefer it if she didn't start being sexually active before 13. I'd also prefer it if she didn't have sex for the first time before she was 15.

Damn, A long list. I'll probably edit it as well.
