Do people plan their parenting strategies, or just make it up as they go along?

wow that's great what you have done i don't have a parenting plan maybe because when i was pregnant the first time being so young as well i read allot on labor birth and realized no matter how much i read it never turns out that way even though i do realize its just to give you guidance not expectations on how its going to be so I'm more of a go with the flow type of mum my 17 year old boy has never given me a hassle but i do try to look for what they need eg. 17 year old likes to spend time together so i try to meet his needs my 15 year old loves to watch movies together and hes a real funny kid so i make time to watch a movie with him my nine year old loves sport and so i try to do something out doors with him and so on with the other three as discipline goes there all different so i discipline them in different ways all i want is to see them happy so i do let them do things that make them happy your only a kid once i try to stick to what i say because i think if you don't they wont take much notice of you
