=^..^=

my partner and i try to be friends to my 4 year old daughter but we also give discipline and let her know there are rules to be followed.
we teach her to think about what results come from her actions, and she understands very well that friends dont do stuff which hurts the others feelings.

icame from an extremely intolreant religious family, my partner was one of 9 kids in an alcoholic family who didn't care... somehow we both ended up living exremely similar lives.. and doing a lot of stoopid things.
so we try to find the happy medium between being too strict/too easy pal n parent

its not easy,
but the one thing we always promise is we'd never shut the door on our kids.
