I guess ok. I didn't need therapy or anything My sister and I tease our parents every time we see them about their crazy rules. I use some of my parents rules with my kids.

What is funny, when my kids go over to see my folks, my kids get to do anything they want! Watch tv for hours and drink pop like it is water.

Some parents are strict with their own kids, but spoil their grand kids.

My parents were racists and that's the crazy rule I submitted for the thread! They (particularly my dad) were pretty hardcore about it. It was ultimately the catalyst that led to a mutual and permanent parting of ways.

Sorry to hear that. That had to have been tough to grow up with parents like that.

Thank God you didn't adopt their ways.

because they don't have to deal with the consequences!

nothing stupid, but the summer after I had turned 18 and graduated high school, I made the mistake of actually asking if I could go over to a friend's house at midnight to hang out and was told no and threw a fit. I have no idea what I was thinking even asking. old enough to do it without asking, but not even realizing it.

* I could only leave my yard to play every other day for two hours. If I was late returning, even five minutes, I had to wait three days before I could leave again.

* Until he was about 10, I had a standing one-hour 4 p.m. play date with my brother... no matter where I was or what I was doing.

* My mother once bought me a Jr. Planetarium (a little toy projector that shown a duplicate of the northern night sky onto my bedroom ceiling). She never let me use it, though, because she said I'd break it.





I'm gonna stop there as this is pissing me off.

I'm 27...just finished grad school last year and moved home to save up a bit of money. I'm moving out in January and they are NOT taking it well to say the least...

Since you moved back home do you still have to obey these rules? I can't wait to move too.

this one most of all..
you wash the dishes..we took turns..
but if it was found that there was even a speck of something left on a dish after you washed it..
you had to wash EVERY dish in the cupboard!!
i was 10 when the first all dishes washed happened..
and it never seemed to happen to any one but me..

They let you smoke weed?

My mom never had a lot of rules, but one fucking nutty one that sticks out that to this day makes no sense at all to me:

No Simpsons.

Now, I know a lot of even the sanest, most liberal parents back in the late 80's/early 90's experienced that Bush-induced anti-Simpsons paranoia, so banning the show itself isn't what what was weird.

What was weird about it is that there were absolutely no other rules about what my sister and I could and could not watch. By the age of 10 I'd seen The Crow, Batman, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Silence of the Lambs, and the Ice Capades, along with a whole slew of other things most folk would not allow their kids to see.
