Those two thing sound like potentially completely different scenarios.
Also, you've massively over simplified parenting in general if you think putting the fear of God in your child is just lazy parenting.
There’s discipline, and then there’s “child is more afraid of you than of the actual consequences and will actually risk their life further to avoid you finding out.”
^ can confirm, was in an accident at 01:30 am, completely alone on a pitch black main road, and rather called my friend who was 45 min away instead of my parents who were 5 mins away.
Yes and no. I never want my children to be too scared to ask for my help when they find themselves in trouble. When I had a pregnancy scare I did everything I could to not let my mother find out but when I had no choice and had to tell her she flipped out making me feel worse. I didn't need a telling off, I needed support.
