Strict ParentsI always thought my parents were quite strict, but I can't think of anything they actually banned me from doing, whereas a good friend was under no circumstances allowed to watch ITV because of the adverts.
This week's Time Out mentions some poor sod who was banned from sitting in the aisle seats at cinemas because, according to their mother, "drug dealers patrol the aisles, injecting people in the arm."
What were you banned from doing as a kid by loopy parents?

Double StandardsI was the first born and my parents were incredibly strict.....with me!
I was made to eat soap when I swore, I had a strict dealine for getting in (10PM, including after I had left home) and if I wasn't in before midnight on Christmas Eve(the only night I was allowed out after 10), my parents locked me out of the house.
My brother, however, stayed out until all hours, smoked, shaggged, got high, got detention every day, destroyed my parents house on more than one occassion, has been excluded from college, has been brought home by the police a few times for being drunk and incapable and committed credit card fraud which blacklisted my parents for a while, was barely told off.
However, there is small consolation for me. I have a knock-out high-earning job, my own home, and three or four holidays a year.
He lives in a shitty council house with a chavvy girlfriend (think Vicky Pollard), two kids and another one on the way.
And, she's so ugly, a horse kicked her in the head. She's proud of that.
