My MIL always had to comb my now husband’s hair, until he left for university. I think that’s “grow up to own a motel” weird.

I had a friend whose parents would allow him to come over for supper, but that was it. Arrived when the meal started, left when it ended. No playing. Supper means supper, they said. 🤷🏻♂️

We weren’t allowed shorts at all unless in a completely sex segregated environment. I wasn’t allowed secular music except jazz or classical. My sister couldn’t cut her hair or wear makeup. Men in the church were strongly discouraged from facial hair.

I wasn’t allowed to because the said the word stupid in it. To this day I have seen maybe 10 minutes of an episode 🙃

I wasn’t allowed to kiss a boy until I got married. 😬

It wasn’t really a definite rule, more an unspecified amount of fun you were allowed to have, after which, “No, you’ve had enough fun (today, this weekend, this week).”
I never could get an answer on how the fun limit was set or what triggered it.

I said the word “rectum” at the dinner table when I was about 9 or 10 years old and got sent to my room without dinner and wasn’t allowed out to play with my friends the next day! 😂 I bring this story up at every family gathering!

I had to wear a skirt or dress once a week to school and was only allowed to wear jeans once a week. I was a hugely unpopular dork and this didn’t help. Thanks, mom.

(1) My curfew in HS was 11 PM; I got in trouble for coming home at 10:45 b/c it was “cutting it too close”. (2) I got straight As in HS, but once got in trouble b/c my “A was too close to an A-“.
“Almost” only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and rules set by Tiger Moms 😐

The shower curtain had to be opened on the left side, never the right.
