Crazy rules your parents had...

As a kid my parents had some crazy rules:

1) Only 1 can of coke per day

2) Only 1 packet of crisps per day

3) 15 minutes between each Xmas present to make the day last longer and to 'appreciate' each gift.

4) Even at 22 my then girlfriend from university had to have my bed with me on the downstairs sofa when she first came to visit...as if we wouldnt ne able to refrain from the sex we were having everyday at uni.

I remember when I was a teenager in the 70s, I wasnt allowed to buy any teen magazines like Jackie, Smash Hits, Disco45 or Fabulous208!! My parents were too afraid that I would b corrupted by their influences!!! I used to either sneak them into the house and hide them under my bed or keep them at school in my desk!!!!

But then, back then, my parents were newly converted Jehovahs Witnesses and they were very fanatical, to say the least!!!!!

I wasnt even allowed 2 go 2 youth clubs or discos, either, cos my parents didnt want me being around "bad associations"!!! I hadnt got a clue what a disco was all about!!! And, yet, I was dragged to JW meetings every week!!!!

Looking back, I led a very sheltered life as a teenager!!!

vivid is my new boo!

We weren't allowed to have company (male or female) upstairs in our rooms. That part of the house was considered "personal" and no one was allowed up there. Ever.

It was all like HARRY

No crazy rules. All that was expected of me was to do my schoolwork and treat folk respectfully.

No smoking weed IN the house... patio fine, just NOT INDOORS!

1 hour of tv during the week day; 2 hours on the weekends.

No pop (soda) until the weekend, but you could only have 1 can on Saturday!

During the summer, my sister and I had to read 200 books and write a book report on each one...every year, until we were 15 years old.

If we misbehaved, we had to write a letter of apology to the offended person. Stating why we did what we did and what we could have done to avoid the situation in the future. If you could not write or think of anything, you sat in the corner until you did.

Make your bed every morning!

If you spend the night at friends on Friday nights, be ready to leave early, you have chores to do on Saturday morning! (that rule sucked!!!)

When in mass..NEVER look to the back of the church.


That's all I can really remember

I can't think of one crazy rule, like the ones you've all mentioned.

No social interaction with anyone who wasn't white. That was kind of a biggie.

I could probably write a book but here are a few:

No swimming unless it was over 90 degrees
No phones calls after 9:00pm
dont go out with a wet head
obey the stupid curfew even tho NONE of my friends had one
no boys in my room...ever!
no half naked prince posters on my wall cuz u KNOW i had the shower one!

tons of silly things but seemed like I had the worst parents EVER lol..

Homework must be done before the tv comes on.

No calls after 9 pm

No friends over while she's not there.

Dishes washed before bed.

My parents were crazy and strict, but the craziest rule was
Going to church every Sunday and having to wear the 'nice' clothes.
Like that made a difference to Christianity
