Couldn’t wear all black.
Couldn’t get an adidas jacket because gang members wore them.— crazygirl13 (@crazygirl13) June 30, 2020

I always had to dress up for Sunday school (dress, Mary Janes, etc.) and the cool girls got to wear jean skirts and sandals. I also wasn’t allowed to see Grease because there was the whole pregnancy scare thing, which would have 100% gone over my head anyway.

My parents weren’t super strict, but my mom used to go through books and black out all curse words with a Sharpie before we read them. Reading her “version” of “The Shining” was difficult.

Pass the food only one way at the table. Only use the serving utensils. Wait until everyone has their food prior to eating. Never take the last of the food without asking if someone else wants some, then share. ‘Take some and leave some.’ I don’t have food issues. 😂

If the candlesticks in the front room weren’t spotless after I cleaned house then I had to start the entire process over again. Clean the entire house AGAIN b/c my step mom believed the candlesticks were a reflection of everything else. She checked w/white gloves

We weren’t allowed to watch MTV. I stayed with a friend one weekend and we binged it for two straight days. When I came home, I couldn’t get music out of my head, and wound up tearfully confessing to my dad that I had “broken my brain” by breaking the rules. I was 10.

Don’t turn the electric stove directly to high. You have to go from low to high. Dad equates it to: How would you like it if someone was screaming at you to get out of bed immediately? 🤦🏼♀️ I called that rule #482. I love the guy, but man- the rules were crazy!

Weird one but no chipped nail polish. Either needed to be polished or taken off. “nothing looks trashier that chipped polish”
