IMHO...Consistency more than anything else. If you're strict fine, stay that way all the time. Don't make rules then let them be broken or break them yourself. If you don't plan on grounding your child for getting an "F" then don't tell them you will. That way everyone knows the rules and what to expect.
Being their friend is okay...just don't TRY to be.
