Hexagram 37, Jiā Rén (The Family): Line 3
家人卦九三 · 风火家人 · 中文版
九三：家人嗃嗃，悔厉吉；妇子嘻嘻，终吝。
The line (Legge)
The third NINE, undivided, shows its subject (treating) the members of the household with stern severity. There will be occasion for repentance, there will be peril, (but) there will (also) be good fortune. If the wife and children were to be smirking and chattering, in the end there would be occasion for regret.
Small Image commentary
When 'the members of the household are treated with stern severity,' there has been no (great) failure (in the regulation of the family). When 'wife and children are smirking and chattering,' the (proper) economy of the family has been lost.
象曰：家人嗃嗃，未失也；妇子嘻嘻，失家节也。
In plain words
When the household is ruled sternly, there are complaints, and regret and danger, but good fortune; when wife and children giggle and play, in the end there is regret. The third line is strong but not central and runs the household a little too strictly. The Small Image says sternness does not lose the family's way, while unchecked giggling loses its measure.
Applying it to your situation
If you swing between strict and lenient, this line suggests erring on the strict side rather than losing your sense of proportion. Which boundary at home or at work needs to be held again?
Position
A solid (yang) line in the third place, which is a yang (odd) place, so it is in its proper place. Its partner is line 6; both are yang, so they do not respond.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Jiā Rén changes into Hexagram 42 Yì (Increase). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·家人之益.
The hexagram
Hexagram 37 Jiā Rén (The Family). The Judgment: For (the realisation of what is taught in) Jia Ren, (or for the regulation of the family), what is most advantageous is that the wife be firm and correct.
