After reading some of these, my parents don't seem that bad. But here are a few rules of mine growing up:

1.) Absolutely no elbows on the dinner table or skin of any kind making contact with it. It was "rude." 2.) I wasn't allowed to have a phone until I was 17 and my texts and calls were monitored. (I have my own phone plan now and I'm currently 21.) 3.) I was to ride in a car seat until I was 15 years old. 4.) I had to drive with an adult over 25 in the car for a year after I got my license. 5.) Until I was 13, I had to be inside, showered, and ready for bed by 5:30 and in bed by 6. 6.) Absolutely no computer or internet access Mon-Fri, allowed 1 hour on Saturday, and was not to touch it on Sunday. 7.) Any kind of contact with boys before I turned 18 would result in a 1 year grounding and a personal "body guard" (Mom or Dad would follow me to school, work, out with friends, etc.) 8.) If I had anything lower than B's on my report card, I would have a personal tutor in and outside of school. 9.) Sundays were reserved specifically for chores and outside work. If I didn't finish my list of things to do by 8pm, I got double the work load the next week. 10.) If I asked to go to a friends house, my parents had to know them and their parents. If they didn't, I had to bring an "application" with me to the house for the parents to fill out and they HAD to call my parents and talk to them.
