I never heard of a teenager not knowing what pop taste like. I was raised more layed back to i only had a curfew and expectations and i think i turned out fine. I can see why he is strick though because that how his parints was with him. But he doesnt even want the kids to have an x box or ps2 or any type of gameing system whitch i think its ok for them to play it as long as they dont play to much. There alot of other little stuff like that we disagree on. How do we compromise? Reply to this Question Share |

Your right this is all down to how the both of you where brought up and am sure that the both of you turned out just fine. Everyone has there disagreements. I guess the only way to make it fair between the both of you is to sit down and each write down one point on what you want your children to do or not to do and keep the list somewhere safe for future reference. The both of you have equal say on how your children should be brought up. So half of his rules should be applied and half of yours.If you leave it until somenight you are both relaxed and have a few drinks and chill and just come to an agreement where both of your in puts are equal. Goodluck.
