I'm sure just about everyone had this problem growing up. When I was younger, my parents had all sorts of rules;
- I wasn't allowed to read novels (ANY at all because apparently, they were stopping me from reading my school books all novels in my house were therefore torn to pieces, constantly)
- I wasn't allowed to use perfume because my mother believed that meant I was trying to 'prove a point'
- I couldn't sleep late. EVER not even during summer hols or christmas because that would stop me from building character.
- I couldnt go for ANY parties unless my parents knew the parents of whoever was having the party, personally.
- I couldnt take any form of public transport on my own until I was about 18 (my mates still make fun of me over this one even though I broke it quite a few times).
These rules made me really rebellious and depressed because it meant I missed out on a lot of things my mates experienced while we were growing up (both good and bad). It also meant I had virtually no friends outside my school.
I was just wondering what sort of crazy rules your parents had when you were growing up?
