This is a question Strict Parents

I 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?

Violence
My dad was an electrical engineer and my mum a house- wife until I was ten when my dad got laid off and trained to become a social worker and my mum had just recently qualified to be a teacher. My mums Guardian reading pinko liberal nonsense started to take on new heights. ( my three older brothers had escaped with a reasonable sanity) She used to get violent and go off the wall, tell me heavy/thrash metal and horror films were misogynistic, aggresive and a waste of time. We'd had toy guns banned when I was about 5 years old, no action men, no boxing on tv, Charlton Heston films( he's NRA you know) no morning tv, daytime tv, Professionals or Sweeny. Fuckin' news, Panorama, World in Action (that I sometimes thought was fuckin' top)and ponsy fuckin' plays on Channel 4. She threatened to burn all my records once and I told her I'd burn down their house. Funnily enough she didn't. Plus as my brothers went to Uni and I didn't ( I failed my o levels - all bar one because by now I didn't give a flying fuck- and glad I didn't- was having a wicked time out and about pushing body and mind to the limits) So I'd get the " What are you going to do"? at home and at school, to which I replied " I dunno." " Is that all you can say, dunno"? " Dunno."- used to wind the fuckers up no end. For all her feminist, fuckwitted preaching about how wonderful PC liberalism is she sure knew, like the rest of them (her fuckwit friends) how to censor and suppress freedom of expression like a fascist.
I still love horror films, thrash metal and have long added martial arts but have chilled out a bit with trance,ambient and a variety of film genres.
I can now deal with my parents two days at a time and get on well with them but by the third day it's time to leave as there's been a barny between me and the old dear, bless her. And I'm a teacher. There's irony for ya.
The moral of this story is don't educate potential feminists.

Rant finished
