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?

Banned from lunchWhen I was about 13, I was friends with a girl who was quite smart and taking several advanced classes, including a math class at the nearby high school. One day she was sitting at my lunch table, and I realised that she hadn't hadp any lunch for the past week, so I asked if she'd forgotten it.
"Oh, no," she said. "I got a B+ in English last quarter, so my parents are taking away lunch."
We lost touch when we went to different high schools, so I never found out what her parents would have done to her if she ever failed a class. However, it definitely makes me grateful that I have nice, normal parents, rather than psychotic overachieving ones who starve their kids if they don't get good grades.
