I am very tough with my kids. but yet, I'm what you call a cool mom as well. All I ask of my kids is to do well in school and be smart and dont get dont get into trouble and most of all DO NOT lie to me. They don't have to tell me everything,,,,, there are just somethings a parents is not supposed to know and I understand this. I have a very close relationship with my girls. My oldest tells me everything. My son goes to my husband more but thats ok. My kids know what they can and can't get away with. I will do anything for them and they know they have my trust. But if they do anything to break that trust, my punishment is harsh but they know it' for thier own good. my son was slacking in school this year. I had 4 out of 6 teachers call me to discuss his behavior in class. He was Mr. social and wanted to talk to the girls and not do what he was suppposed to do. Just being a clown and his grades started to drop. So we grounded him for a month. Some may say that is harsh but for all we do for them,,, they know better. They have all kinds of cool things that can be taken away just as fast or even faster then they got them.
