I'm a very old-fashioned and strict parent, like my own father. He wanted me to become a barrister, like him, but I used to say to him that he'd made me secure enough not to worry about having a proper job. He was very disappointed when I said I was going to be a writer, but I think that was out of anxiety: he didn't know how 1 would survive in the world.
As a child I was really proud of my father. I have an image of him, 6ft 5in and broad- shouldered. wearing a smart suit and tie and behaving maturely - an image 1 feel I should live up to. My father had status in other people's eyes. I worry that I didn't give my children that.
I have inherited from my father a strong sense of the importance of doing the right thing. I am strict, even though I lack the sort of authority bubble he had around him. In the right context, my children are allowed to be rude to me - they might call me 'fat face' in a jokey way, when I would never have dared.
Bin I'm also very authoritarian: I believe strongly in proper bedtimes, that chores have to be done and that certain times of the day - when Julie and 1 have an evening drink arc reserved for adults, which the children are not allowed to interrupt.
I know I have quite a demonic image in a few families' eyes. But I want to make my children into die sort of children I want them to be. We live in a terribly liberal age when people feel they should take a back seat in making moral decisions. I don't think that children should make up their own minds - and saying that is about as unfashionable as you can get. But if you don't influence them, they will only be influenced by others.
