Possibly, but i think she should be both. I would say that my mum is a parent and a friend. The more strict a parent is, the more often we (speaking for teenagers here) don't want to follow their lead.

I agree with that. Animals ALWAYS give us signs, we just don't always acknowledge them, but maybe for Buttercup Roxy's were very discreet.

I think i'll stay out of this thread now. I think everyone has said everything that needs to be said - and far more.
