strict parenting

How strict will you be in your parenting? ?
Were your parents strict in your upbringing? Do you think that your parenting will reflect that, or will you be more lenient with your child(ren)?
What sorts of things will you allow/not allow them to do?
I was raised by a single Mother who really couldn’t have cared less what I did. So many times I’ve thought back to stupid things I did and wish my Mom had stopped me. She was a flower child and thought it was cute when I tried to wear a handkerchief for a shirt to school when I was 12. Also thought it was fine for me to wear tons of make-up when I was 10. I can’t count how many boy/girl sleepovers I had. She told me if I didn’t like school I might as well quit. I hadn’t even considered it before that. So, of course, I did. I think being strict with children shows them that you love them.That you care about them.
