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?

CatholicismNot sure if that's the right spelling....
But the pretext is religion on the whole.
My parents were strict catholics so every Sunday was church. You go to hell for a lot of things you know.... And confession, communion, confirmation, Christmas midnight mass, Easter services, Palm Sumday, etc.
Not so much banned I guess, but banned from fun as a ruul - Cathlolic = Fun-optomy.
Or sense of humour bypass, depends how you look at it.
Either way, anything that I wanted to do but was regarded as fun was not allowed as you can't do anything fun AND adhere to a strict religious code.
The worse part was that while at boarding school (secondary) I still had to go to church as my parents insisted as the school dragged me.
Primary school was already a Catholic school run by nuns with a church right next door - Don't get me started on that......
I'm still angry about the boarding school thing, I really am...
