Parents set rules for kids so that they know which behaviors are acceptable and which are not. As the CDC writes, children will have to be in public places when they grow up, places that might have certain rules. So they must get used to adhering to rules. But what if those rules don't always make sense?
Like when parents don't let their kids watch TV while lying in bed. Why is there a TV in the bedroom, then?!? It's true: not all the rules we heard from our parents make sense, but some might be extra silly. Like many from this thread, where a person asked: "What's a rule your parents had that you thought was silly at the time and still can't quite understand?"
What are the strangest rules your parents had in your house growing up? Let us know in the comments, and don't forget to upvote your favorite entries!
