you know it is strange. Now in my later life. I would say the stricter parent. I guess it's because I feel that they really care for you to grow up as a decent person. I love both though I am a teacher and I see the same thing with the students. when I asked them which teacher they liked the most. more then half answered with the name of a teacher who is strict but fair. Being cool is nice for a day but doesn't get you any respect in the long run.

My daddy. -
They're both in a home now so I can pretty much do anything I want!

Well right now my mom as fierce as she may be I can do almost anything as long as I tell her what it is beside I don't live with my dad hes kinda strict and gets mad if you don't do things his way

I am too old for that now. But when growing up my mother was the strict one, my father was easier to convince but he would never go against what had been decided by my mother.

Are they really "cooler" if they let you get away with things ... not always. The cooler parent is really the one who wants what's best for you and makes sure you do it, even if their decision isn't "popular". Kids won't believe that, but in the long run, the "tough" and loving parent can often be the best parent.

Between my husband and myself we are "cool" about different things. He lets our daughter play with play-dough in the living room, fingerpaint without changing out of nice clothes, basically make messes. That drives me crazy. I let her play on the deck (as long as the gate is closed and I can see her through the window) alone and eat what she wants (spaghetti for breakfast, pancakes for dinner, that sort of thing) and it drives him crazy. She gets away with different things depending on which parent is with her! (We're a united front on the important stuff, though.)

Neither, my moms overprotective and my dad was in the army so he doesn't tolerate stupidity.
