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?

Rules for kidsI have decided on the following:
1) No birthdays until they are at least five. They won't remember anything before that.
2) Boys to receive lessons in female anatomy, complete with detailed images; girls to be taught self-defence and kung fu.
3) Persistent crying of babies will be dealt with by locking them in a soundproof room until they learn to be quiet (my mother did this to me and look how turned out).
4) I will not hit them. Psychological weapons are more deadly: fear paranoia, envy etc.
5) They will not go to university. It's a total waste of time and encourages a prolonged adolescence.
6) They will not get pocket money - they can work for a living and learn from an early age that they can never have enough.
7) I will not cosset them - they should learn from an early age that life is shit and no one cares.
8) I don't dare if they perform well in sports at school - the top sportsmen at my school turned out to be morons.
9) They can drink and take mild drugs if they like, but if they abuse these I will post pictures of them on the Net sleeping in their own vomit.
10) They will be quiet. I hate noise.
My wife has advised me to have a vasectomy.
