In the past, Philip did not discipline Lydia severely for her actions, whether it be setting fire to the library in her school or crashing his vintage roadster. Both father and daughter are quite stubborn in getting what they want, with Lydia having the advantage over her father because of his love for her. As Gabe states, she would hold her breath until she was blue if her father refused to give her the cookies that she wanted.
