Mom

     My mother has always been seen as very liberal and the person who always lets me do whatever I want. She is a very nice, sweet and easy going person but she does know how to lay down the law. To be honest, I think she has the perfect amount of rules in the house. In my opinion, I think that she is doing a wonderful job raising me and even though I do make mistakes, it does not mean that it was her fault. I am in total control of what I do and if i make one mistake, it does not mean that I as brought up the wrong way. When others say that they don't think that my mother raised me the right way because of her rules, it infuriates me because she actually raised me very well. When parents are too uptight and never let their kids out of the house, that's when you have to worry. The child is going to want to rebel. That is not always the case but usually it is what happens. I have no feelings of rebellion ever and I believe that is because my parents taught me right.  I know it is different for everyone, but if it works for your child, then raise them that way. Also my mom is always there for me when I need her and is so incredibly smart and loving. She is also the perfect amount of crazy and silly. She teaches me something new everyday. My mother is by far the person I look up to the most and I am so lucky to have someone like her in my life.
