Sometimes you have to be the parent not the friend

 Sometimes as a parent you have to be the parent and not the friend. Always be the parent first. It isn't about being the cool parent even if you want to be. If you always act like the friend they will walk all over you. They will think it is okay not to do things or disrespect you.  That is not okay. Do not let them think it is okay. Set boundaries and rules.  Make them follow them. Yes, you may have to discipline them. Don't feel bad for doing so. Don't always give in to their every want because it becomes easy to do and they think they can get away with it. You are preparing them for life. When they aren't doing right tell.  Tell them when they are doing good also. We need to stop rewarding bad behavior.
