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?

Name Withheld
Serious story I'm afraid

I have an ex who so seriously fucked with my head, I spent about 5 years being completely insecure and not knowing whether I was coming or going (emotionally) and being incredibly insecure. Note: I'm better now - ask around. Ahem.

Goes without saying that she's mentioned with the words "Evil cow" - I'll not name her here. I've mellowed over time and I no longer hate her, but what she did to me.

Anyhoo - My Mum recognised this and tried to ban me from seeing her. My Dad had died a couple of years previously and she was trying to finish bringing up a 16/17 year old rebelling son and an 17/18 year old daughter who was just nuts.

I resented being stopped from doing anything so a "No" was a challenge - "You must not see Getrude" was like a red rag to a bull.

My Mum did try and tried to lay down the law, but she couldn't ever stop me from seeing her.

Needless to say I resented this intrusion and continued to rebel. I think this has left a lasting problem in my relationship with my Mum and I don't think it's ever going to be fixed.

I understand what she was trying to do, but telling a hormonally charged 17 year old that he can't see a girl who he liked is about as likely to work as asking frankspencer to stop writing his interesting stories.

I stopped seeing the girl when I realised that she was a psycho and never, ever admitted to my Mum that she was right.

If I knew then what I know now.... I would probably still do it as it's made me what I am now:

Nuts.
