I am totally a softie. This is why I need my dh. He keeps the kids in order. I like being relaxed but then sometimes I don't because my kids can walk all over me.

I think I will be more on the strict side. I dont know why, but I think its because of how much of a worrier I am already.

I'll definitely be the strict one and BF will be the softie (he can be strict when he needs to be, though, but it just takes a lot more).

I tried getting the dog to stay off the bed (now that he's getting older, he's starting to shed like crazy). It lasted about a week because BF would secretly let the dog up on his side of the bed.

@ tchelle!

I think we will both be fairly strict... though I expect that I will be the one who will have more soft moments than he will probably. LOL!!

My goal is to be a good balance of both buuuut I will actually probably be a softie, too. So will DH, I think. That could spell trouble.

ugh i used to say softie, and i might be to an extent but on days like today when i have 10 two year olds acting like hellions, i know i can be tough when pushed!! DH will definitely be tougher than me though!!

I will be strict. I wish I could be "the fun one" but that is just not who I am- I'm a teacher and I run a tight ship! But I know I will be super loving and affectionate and that will make up for it!

I think I'm going to be more strict. My mom was very strict with me & so was the Army!!! I think DH is more likely to cave. I'm very stubborn & arguing with me just makes me more stubborn (that can be both good and bad as a Mom).
I also think it really depends on the kids' personalities. Ethan really needs a routine & is unhappy when it gets messed up. My little cousin is the most laid-back kid you've ever met, but my niece will take a mile if you give her an inch. I hope I'm a good enough Mom to be able to tailor my parenting style to my kiddos' personalities.
