your easy parent, mom or dad? Options

[expoised]

it seems like in my family... all the dad's are more easy-going than the moms.

for example: yesterday i went to the hair place with my dad & sister. i've been asking my mom for highlights for the past..uh.. 5 years. and she's always said no. so i decided to ask my dad. my dad wasn't sure what he should do, so he called my mom and my mom said "well... i'm against it, but you decide" (meaning.. in 'mom' language.. "absolutely not"). so my dad goes to me and says "do you promise to clean your room tomorrow?" and i'm like "..yeahh" and he says "ok, you can get highlights." SCORE.

and he got an ass-whuppin from my mom when we got home. ohh well... =]

what did i gain??... highlights + a clean room

it depends really .. usually the one more lenient with things is the parent that isn't always around as much .. my mom is the more strict one because she runs the household and it's a major responsibility for her to keep me and my siblings in line.. it isn't an easy job so you should give them the credit for being able to do that in hopes that you turn out the best person you could possibly be.. my father is the one that is working and he gets home at night.. he doesn't have to do much of the reprimanding , etc. therefore it's harder for him to say no when we ask for things .. it's not that he doesn't know what's best for us but being the parent that barely gets to spend as much time will feel a little guilty and want to make you happy .. it can be the other way around for the ones who have working moms and dad's who stay around the house .. regardless both parents play a vital role in us growing up .. so they both deserve equal credit .. both jobs aren't easy ..
