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?

Internet Friend? You know where this is going...
A few years back when I was a small 16 year old, i'd regulary post on bands message boards. I had a rare B-Side from one of these bands, so posted, basically "Have rare B-Side. Add me on [email protected] if you want it, k thnx bai". Within minutes, a 14 year old girl added me onto msn asking for it. So I promptly did via the magic that is MSN file transfer.

Fast forward 3 years...im coming up 19, shes coming up 17, and I still chat to her and text her a lot, and generally got to know her really well.

Now, she lives in Edinburgh, and since I was going to a gig up there and staying overnight at my mates and going home the next day, we both decided "Why not meet up?". I later learned her parents were totally against this, but since it was pretty unavoidable since she was going to town anyway and I wasn't about to spend the entire day in my mates smelly halls of residence, we did it anyway.

Had fantastic time, lovely girl...but oh bugger, her parents found out. And thats when the strange strictness came into play...

-She was only allowed her mobile during school for "emergencies". Her mum would check her contacts every day and make sure my number wasn't in it.
-Banned from the internet, period.

After two weeks it settled down, and weirder limitations came into play....

-Her Mum would only let her on the net for an hour each weekend.
-Only allowed to text me once a day.
-Mum wanted my phone number and address.

This was 2 months ago and the restrictions are STILL in place. I often use my mind to thank her mother for making me feel like a peadophile.

And now I need to pee.
