Thats the toughest part and probably the most important. My folks were strict while Petes' were permissive. We had to take our expectations apart, talk about them and find a way to raise kids that was natural to us. We ended up with high expectations and kids that, so far, are outstripping them. For us, a big part of it is talking to the kids like they're intelligent inexperienced human beings rather than small sub-humans.
