Yay....not

[Shifty]

Be friends with the kid. so that he tells you stuff, have an open relationship. be trusting of eachother. but still put your foot down when you half to. Dont bitch the kid out for screwing up, try to level with them and then if they do it again, bitch the kid out. Try to understand why there doing the things there doing instead of forcing punishment on them. thats the kind of parenting i would probally do. not the fucking way my parents raised my brother.
