In the book, he shares a story about how, one time, he and Laura were away celebrating their anniversary and had left their eldest daughter, Bria, in charge. Steve recalled how out of all the rules his girls had to follow, only one was of utmost importance: no one was allowed to come over.

Long story short, Bria ended up breaking the rule and threw a party while her parents were away. Even though her younger sister remained loyal to her, downplaying the event to her parents when they found out, Bria was still put on punishment.

Though Steve, known for his fictional tough guy characters, adopted the role of disciplinarian and lives by the mantra that stipulates that being a good parent doesn't always mean being the popular parent, he still believes it's essential for kids to rebel a little. Of his stance as a dad, Steve stated:

"Kids have to rebel. It's their nature...Your job (as a parent) is to give them something to rebel against..."
