Miranda's mom is super strict. She often sets curfew really early and changes it occasionally. When Miranda asks why curfew is so early, her mom's reply is always, "Because I said so, and I'm your mom!" Miranda often sneaks out to be with her friends. When her mom finds out, Miranda receives really harsh punishments. Miranda's mom is what type of parent?

Answer: authoritarian parent

Explanation: Authoritarian parents expect their children to do whatever they say when ever they say it without hesitation. Whatever they say goes. They do not listen to their children because to them children have no voice except to take what the parent gives or says at any given moment.

They are very harsh and they use very harsh punishments to deal with any misconduct or if their children do not do what they say.

It is usually common that these parents also grew up in this way, where there was no love but always fear.
