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?

K2k6, you in turn reminded meof once when my son was being particularly obnoxious and demanding something (I think it was probably to watch TV after his bedtime) and yelled a bunch of things at me that should have resulted in getting his face slapped. I informed him that he owned nothing, that I had bought everything in his bedroom, including his clothes, so he should be grateful that I even let him stay there. He replied with something snotty, so I stripped off his pants and shirt and threw him out the front door in his underwear. When he found the door locked behind him, he had a very sudden and major attitude change.
Periodically I still have to remind him of his place- and now he's twelve years older. You'd think that lesson would have stuck...
