Well, if I ever want something, I'd probably approach my mom. But if that fails miserably (like my mom doesn't even give it a second thought), I go to my dad. If that doesn't work, I make a petition, like the one I made about my mini laptop.
Though I find it a lot easier to get things from my dad.
In general, I think my dad only gets strict when my mom gets strict. Or when my mom tells him to be strict. :X
"Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists).".."[Al Qur'aan 3:2]
Well they actually say that when a husband and wife grow older the father gets more sweet and the mother gets not so sweet. Has got something to do with hormones. The father will get more feromones and the mother more testosteron. You see that with old people seriously. Grandpa's get more huggable and grandma's get more ehhm not so huggable.
Anyway I voted both. My parents are equally sweet but can be strict as well. I go to Dad when I have a problem with school or work or whatever. Something classified as "business". To Mum I go with problems involved private stuff I cant discuss with dad classified as "private" But like to tease them both hehe

Thats soooo true. With age you will notice a father will stop using his big leather belt for ummmm, ....discipline, and start using the big leather belt to hold his pants up usually above the belly button
Buttttt....Mia madre hasn't changed much she is a tough woman and gets tougher with age. lei madre was never much for compasion or sweetness, she was more the type to say "Stop your crying and get over it!"
They didnt really belt us but there was the cane with branches for swiping your ankles by gran and mum
Dad made u stand in the corner and face the wall and think about your life or you had to stoop down,(stand like ruku, touch the ground with one finger of one hand and put the other hand on your back) stand at attention with your arms in the air or close your eyes and face the wall. Or sometimes he yelled!!
Grandad, he would pinch you like a chicken with a new brood when you are least expecting it.
heee heee hee..
They also send you for 'arodan' a non existent errand where they send you to a house down the road, you go and ask for 'arodan', the people there send you on to another person and so on till u walked 10 miles and u been walking for hours and are tired and exhausted then someone pities you gives u an empty envelope and sends you home.. phew
mums and dads sometimes become more like each other as time goes on or as mine do, if you do something, they dont argue on punishment, if you go to mum, she sends you to dad, if you go to dad, he sends you to mum if you get frustruated then you have to go on an errand that may never end!! so eventually you say yes sir, yes maam and go sit down you are okay or if you go into one the ultimate is the village meeting, you don't want that, your aunties, grannies, uncles are called, they sit in a room, shut the door and as I learned they chit chat for some time eat snacks and refreshments then call you in, make you sit on a stool in the middle and you then face a court martial
Hehhh that is baaaad!!!!! they all tell you off till u want the ground to open and swallow you and your head hurts!!!
Then you have to be an angel for the next few months or else!!! you will be in double 'wahala'
LOL lol lol discipline is good, strict parents can't kill you, just prevent you from thinking you can escape their beady eyes and scrutiny!!

Lol this sounds like a punishment given in my school for not paying attention during class.
I am the only one whose parents feel good if school teacher has complain about you ?
This has happened with my sister.She was intelligent but wasn't studious and during one of her semester she topped her class, it was unexpected.You know how much attention you get in school when you are rank 1.She had lot of pressure and expectation although my parents never pressurised to score good. when her next semester exams were started my sister said to my mother that she don't want to give exams at all.My mother asked her, will you pass this year even if you don't give exams.She said yes and my mother said then don't give.
Once her school teacher complained to my mother that she is very talkative and not paying attention in the class. My sister was scared but when she came back home my mother was smiling as if she is happy receiving such complains. She even once said I want you to enjoy I want people complain about my children being mischievous. Lol
My father is very lineint. I wasnt very well mannered and mature person and my mother had complains about me. Once my mother complained about me and asked him to scold me and my father tried hard to make angry face but he couldn't we all started laughing.
What I see in my family girls are mostly close to father including me and boys are mostly close to mother don't know why .
