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?

My dad...While this wasn't particularly harsh or strict, it is genius child rearing and therefore, notable.
Back when I were wee (2-3 maybe 4)and used to have temper tantrums, my dad hit upon the ideal punishment.
Grabbing me by my ankle mid-outburst, holding me upside down (by the aforementioned body part) and sticking duct-tape over my mouth.
He'd do this til I calmed down and all the blood had rushed to my head. At which point he would let me down, remove the tape and have a quiet word.
The man was a pioneer in the field of child discipline, god rest his soul.
This is definately to be used on the mini-Deity's... when I have them.
