Something I've noticed is that some parents think that you can't be "firm" without being some strict victorian ogre of a parent.
Even when they are little (perhaps especially) you can insist on things without being some monster. You can say no, and mean it, without being an awful person.
One of your jobs as a parent is to teach them how to get on with other people, and part of that is realising that no, the world does not revolve entirely around them, and sometimes they can't get their own way.
