Janet, dont feel bad for being tight on the reins, that way we teach the kids to have respect for others, ive never been able to understand how parents can let "kids do as they please" they need rules, routine, and know they can come to us with anything thats bothering them.
I believe, by being a "in control" parent myself, the kids will only benifit from this kind of upbringing later on.
They need to learn responsibility at an early age, or else they will never learn it!
