thats actually very true, bird i know had kids very young (17) and she has 2 girls now ones 5 and the other 3ish i think, and she spoils them rotten she wants them to think of her as a mate, and its only going end up bad once those kids hit the teens, we were actually talking about it other day funny enough.
Myself when i have kids which i plan on having when i am around 25/26 im going try have a nice balance, be sound when i need to be and still lay down the law when it needs be aswell. I think the main thing is just to be there for your kids, i dont know about being strict or easygoing but as long as your there at all the good and bad times i think things work out pretty well....
I was raised pretty well, was only me and my ma for a good few years so i did get away with alot tbh, but i moved out at 16 into community gaf with few mates and i kinda grew up pretty quickly that way, bills at 16 will do that to you ^_^, im pretty settled now and im a average joe u could say, think most of my bad behaviour is gone. I still have the maturity of a 12year old, but am grown up in the larger sense of things.
But i defo think just being there for your kids is the main thing.
