We have all had friends who had super cool, laid back  parents. Equally, we have all known someone who had super-strict parents.  Parenting is not for the faint-at-heart. Parenting involved love, strength, and guts! Everything that we have learned about being a parent we learned from the parental figures we were around growing up–good or bad.
