My parents were so strict and weird, they wouldn't even let me watch Courage the Cowardly Dog

My parents were so strict and weird, they wouldn't even let me watch Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Who else had some wack ass rules growing up?

bump for stories

>spend more than 2 hours playing games
>get console taken away for a whole week

Yeah good job, dad, now I have this in-grown habit of "get it while it's going good" and binge on everything. Like drink, going out late, drugs, en ESPECIALLY gaming. I now spend pretty much all of my time playing games.

Just because I have a deep seated fear of everything I like being taken away from me.

Shit I can barely beat DK Country in that time

Exactly, Im sure anyone from when the first home console came out to now knows that parents will never, never understand that 1-2 hours isnt enough for fuck all. Hell some games have about 30 minutes worth of character creation. I mean, I did my homework, I did whatever chores, yet I still had lame restrictions. Well, whatever, all it taught me is to hide away whatever Im interested in and just not let anyone of authority know what Im doing.

Thats what retarded parenting does.

I'm old as shit (40), but I had an 8pm bedtime until around 15 when I left for boarding school. On trips home after that, I had no curfew. I'd come home wasted at 3 a.m. and nobody cared. (You don't live under my roof anymore, son). Kinda weird.

My homie's parents made him drink cod liver oil after dinner. When I stayed at their house I had to as well. Fucking gross.

Wasn't allowed to watch pokemon but was allowed to watch the Simpson's

>cod liver oil
God damn unappreciative kid. That thing costs a lot.

bump

My parents used to give me an hour to do homework before confiscating it and giving it back to me in the morning. So I'd learn how to work under a deadline.

My parents would let me watch anything, (stayed up late to watch beavis and butthead and aeon flux starting at 7 years old lol) but nothing MY MOM knew had nudity. Sexuality didn't matter (aeon flux obviously was sexually explicit as fuck)

also couldn't be alone with girls but I had to yell and scream with my mom when I was 5-6 to get her to stop bathing me.

ama i guess that's pretty fucked up lol.

I didn't have rules growing up, I would have stabbed a nigger for telling me not to watch something.
Feel bad for you pussies but not really because you let it happen, cucks.

Honestly I think you were better off in this case.

No simpsons, king of the hill, southpark. Bevis butthead, angry beavers, maybe a few others.
No gardening [their fear of assholes ruining my garden = don't do it]
And grounded from my only passion for not fucking around with math homework like a fucking dumbass.
Came back and retaught myself like 6 years later but I'll never be that good again

Wow you guys had a shit childhood.

I wish my parents didn't let me watch that show I think it fucked me up and made me more fearful

Jesus, look at all of these high school teenagers in this thread. It's like I can't go anywhere to avoid you millenials anymore. What, did you guys get tired of twitter?

2 hours vidyer restriction user here. Dont worry, by the time I was 14 they stopped trying because I found all of the hiding places, or because I hid it myself

Yellow walls in mine and my bro's bedroom up until we was 12.

My parents knew I was scared to death of the monster in the basement (the furnace) so that's where they put my nintendo so I wouldn't play it too much

I wasn't allowed to pick my own clothes and haircut all the way until high school.

Now I have no fashion sense whatsoever.

Courage the Cowardly Dog is the single greatest show to ever graze God's green Earth and your parents fucked you for life by not letting you watch it as a kid

My parents were literally strict like I was not allowed to watch any pg-13 movie until i was 13, R until 17, etc. I bought the Kid Rock bawadaba cd and my dad took it away and gave it back to me when i turned 21.

>still have the edited version of that CD and prefer it to the original

Wasnt allowed to watch Avatar because it was 'too violent'
Not the one with the blue people

My mum was hippie pacifist scum. No toy weapons.
But then I got lego.
First thing I build was a gun.
Eventually, she gave up.

if anyone here is under 24 and your parents stopped you from watching something you must technologically retarded.

Mother told me to go outside and i didnt and she then told me sitting was a privilege and i lost it and she forced me to stand

Thats the thing, no one here is older than nineteen. Put money down on it, user.

Never had much rules, everything was decided more or less on how my parents felt at the time.

So the one day they'd be fine with me watching something with full frontal nudity in it, the other day they'd slap me for making an angry noise playing a video game, then they'd allow my friends to smoke inside the house but require me to write an essay on how I do not deserve to be taken care off because I drank some milk out of a carton my mother had originally intended to bake a cake with.

So plenty of weird rules, it's just that they could entirely change within an hour.

You would lose. I'm 28 and only here to watch fags admit to being cucks.
That guy who didn't get his cd back until 21 is priceless, I would have broke my dad's jaw for that shit.

Im 19, I wasnt allowed to play GTA III because muh cheeldren be brainwarshed by dem evol geyms yo.

I was, what, 12? What was I gonna do, duplicate the CD? It was like 2008 man, I didnt know a third of the technical stuff I do today.

So your parents were alcoholics or drug addicts or both? I guess that could be untreated bipolar too, but reminds me of my drunk ass parents lol.

My mother made me stop watching the Pokemon anime when I was a child because she thought it was hentai.

oh man, same here. My mom had these fucking mood swings. She would go for a while not caring about what we did to full on fucking health nut (which was hard for her to do, so it didnt last long).

My mom was one of those moms that researched autism, so I had to eat a home made bread that had no gluten in it because of some stupid fucking article she read.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT GLUTEN FREE BREAD TASTES LIKE?

LIKE FUCKING CARDBOARD. I'D RATHER EAT SLIGHTLY STALE REGULAR BREAD.

FUCK! I just remembered that and it pisses me the fuck off.

lol, that sucks your parents are racist ass jews. games are one thing I was talking about watching something.

>2008
>can't even burn a cd or kick his dad's ass with a simple rock and sock connection
Millenials are such cuckolds.

My mom spent most days drinking, my dad is always high.

Hell, it took me until about a month ago to figure out that it's weird my mom put my 2 year old ass in daycare, as she didn't have a job. She just wanted the house to herself all work week.

My nigga
When I was little I was allowed to play only during holidays or exceptionnaly weekends
Damn spending one year worth of holidays to play pokemon mystery dungeon on gba was totally worth it

>I'm 19
Stopped reading there because I'm pretty sure everyone here already knew that and whatever you typed up afterward obviously was not quality content so I could care less.

my mom was the same way but she didn't put me in daycare. it was the 90's so she could just let me wander around the surrounding 10-12 blocks lol(starting around 5)

sh-shut up.

Anyways it was all cool, my dad cracked our xbox so we could get loads of games for free. (during a period where everything was OK again)

>mfw my dad taught me about piracy

whatever man, no one is forcing you to read what I post.

I'm 26 patentso let me watch whatever and if I could pay for the game. I payed for vice city when it came out

I know how you feel, I've been eating gluten free my whole life

Funny that, my mom had a knack for diagnosing us herself, and had also pressed autism on me.

Instead of futily trying to cure it, though, she just used it as an excuse for all of her parenting failures. Me being depressed? Autism. Me being afraid to talk to people as I felt too socially low to do so? Autism.
Self harm? Autism. Addiction? Autism.

It goes on.

Funny thing is, I had another psych diagnose me a few years ago, he said there's clear signs of depression and anxiety, but slim to none pointing towards autism.

Still my mother insists that I'm autistic, keep calling me 'her autist' too.
Trust me, being forced to identify with a disorder you don't have and being hit when you protest does not help a man.

26

i wasnt allowed to poop until i turned 10

She allowed me to wander when I was five too, but at five I was in my second year of kindergarten, so I wasn't around much anyway.

wow so bad, mine was taken for six months of a year

Couldn't care less, idiot. Read what you just wrote and be ashamed of yourself.

Im 26 and my dad took my porn dvd's away when I was 13. And left a note when he found my weed at 15 that said I needed to hide it better.

Are you me?

Little mad teeny bopper. How cute

Having split parent rules
My mom would ground me if I played "bad games" (violence is okay, sex is bad) but my dad would straight up play the games with me. Seperation is amazing

>Wasn't allowed to watch Anime
>Wasn't allowed to watch Danny Phantom
>Wasn't allowed to watch Pokemon
>Wasn't allowed to watch Avatar, The Last Airbender
>Wasn't allowed to say the word Hate
>Wasn't allowed to use other toothpaste products other than Glister

Looking back, I'm glad my mom didn't or else I would've grown up to be a weeboo faggot like my cousin and he was allowed to watch that shit when he was my age.

Sucks for you that your mom didn't let you watch Courage, The cowardly Dog. My mom let me watch all the seasons :)

Worst thing is, I dont have an issue with gluten. She just wanted to see if I would change my behaviour. Testing for fucking autism and shit. Fuck sake.

I have a cousin who is actually diagnosed, which caused my mom to go full on autism (lol) on the research. I remember I also had to take some herbal and fish oil pills for a while too, but that wasnt too bad.

I remember being told I'm a high functioning aspie (yeah high functioning alright, I have no friends) and that she brought me to this lady every wednesday. Probably where I was diagnosed. It was probably also the cheapest option too.

Fuck, user that sucks. What was the point of even owning a console/PC then?

My mom lied about me to my therapist so now I'm "diagnosed" with bi polar. I didn't even live with the bitch

25. Pay up, fucker.

>40
>Homie

Sucks dude.
Having to lie to people about supposed damage you have to appease your parents does a number on you.

Yeah, sounds familiar. My mother didn't believe or even want a cure for autism but she was a self-defined witch and wicca for a while, so I had to take some weird herbal shit and sleep with minerals next to my head and shit, but luckily none of it was dangerous.

>family was poorish
>receive from uncle a P2 laptop which needed a euro adapter plug
>mom would take the plug with her while she was at work
>was only allowed on weekends or special occasions


>eventually bought an adapter on my own

Well my dad leveled me out "that bitch is a lying fuckin bitch." My dad after I came home with meds "prescribed"

I'd wish I could hear my dad say that just once, but everyone in our family is terrified of her.

My mother is just the sweetest when she wants to be, but she has no limit to how far she can go for revenge, to 'prove' herself right or to shut someone else up.

If my dad spoke up he'd be going down for domestic abuse in seconds, even though he's never laid a hand on her.

Hell, my mother, during an argument with me, already once threatened to slash herself up a little, blame me for it and either have me arrested or comitted. This was because I'd told her to stop calling me a faggot because I was still a virgin at fifteen.

Moment someone else arrives though, the switch flips and she's an angel again. Makes it hard to hate her, in spite of such incidences, because she did take care of me overall, which she could've just ad easily neglected.

My mom always came up with the weirdest shit to diagnose me with. She was drying my hair with the blow-dryer and it hurt really bad and was hotter than normal, I freaked out because she wouldn't stop. She didn't believe me and told me I must have lyme disease. Not 10 seconds later, the hair dryer sparks and pieces come flying out because it was broken....
She did that stuff all the time.
Also, I got caught looking at porn when I was younger (not really knowing what sex really was because sex ed was later in school and my mom never communicated with me properly) She was mad and grounded me. My little brother looked at porn all the time and got a couple viruses on the computer which was blamed on me of course. So I had to be logged into my account by my brother or my mom and had a limited amount of time on the computer all through middle and HS. I would always find new ways of using the computer and even had a spare mouse I hid in my room when they would remove it from the computer.

are you me? except she drove my father to the point of almost killing her and I haven't seen him since I was little

Fucking baby boomers LOL

This happened to me but different my parents never bought us consoles. So i'd be playing snippets of games when I went over a friends house. When emulation really kicked off and I could get Nes and Snes games on my pc I basically spend all my time playing catch up with lead to a full on addiction. Right now i dont even like games anymore but I still have to play because of a feeling I wont beable to have stuff. I got my first console at age 22 when i was able to buy it myself.

My father decided it's better to be high as often as possible and allow her to do and say as she damn well pleases. He's the only breadwinner but has to ask my mother for allowance.

It's sad to see him so broken and it gave me some insight on my own relationship troubles (always thought as husband/partner is nothing more than a tool and a yes man to women). Dude's life isn't amazing but in typical stoner fashion he's too burned out to change it.

Dude, she sounds full on legit sociopathic

And that's why you're still a virgin, Kek

I'm 30. Kind of jealous of the people whose parents over diagnosed them. I only just got a therapist at 28 and it's like the first person who ever really cared about me ... but I guess it would be a lot harder to connect with your therapist when you're a kid.

Nah, if she was she'd be successful.

She's a failed narcissist who needs to feel dominant towards her family because she has nothing else. She didn't graduate high school so she has little to chances left in life.

>when I thought my bi polar shit was bad

here

Like I said I was sent to some cheapo psuedo therapist for children. How do I explain, it was in a neighborhood and it was in a house that was converted to look office-ey.

tbh I couldnt go to a therapist now, Ive heard too many horror stories of shy guys like me being diagnosed with fucking, idk full on depression and then get force fed meds just because they go through a little patch of sadness.

my mom's the same way. she's a fucking martyr about everything. her house is filthy she has mice and roaches but she's always complaining about being tired from cleaning all the time, and I have spent time at her house and she does actually spend a lot of time cleaning but it's inane bullshit, like she spends an hour vacuuming 200 sq ft. of hardwood. she used to be able to actually keep a place clean. she's really pent up though because her dad and brother were and are both huge molesters, even got my butthole when I was little.

7edgy24me

my mom kept marrying until she found one who would just take her bullshit, I am stubborn and see through it, that sucks man, but I guess you can't make someone move on

find someone who is real all the time, I hate the 2-faced shit, they need to be hardworking and see you as a partner and not a simple asset in their bank account, make sure they are alright with different ideas other than their own

next time your in an argument with her, record her so she cant blame you.

No video games. Only 30 minutes of educational TV per day. Also was not allowed to watch PG 13 movies or play t rated games until I was literally 13. Mom had to know where we were at all times and insisted on calling and speaking to anyone's parents who I ever spent time with outside of school. My brother and I are both addicted to binging media now and peices of shit because of it.

kek

therapists don't give you meds, man. I'm 30 and mine therapist is a an extremely sweet 40ish lady that 70% works with kids and their families.

I got weirdly lucky with all this synchronous shit where she was the therapist for a girl that bullied me in my childhood but basically, I had to try 5 different ones but I found her and she is just a light in my life. It's a bitch sometimes to not spend the $100 on pot but I never miss my monthly session. For a while she even let me see her for $20 because I was out of work.

forgot to say it's doctors who give you meds, therapists help you take them.

I didn't want to take them at all, then a psych gave me a huge dose(over the usual maximum even) of lexapro, but after like 3 months I really calmed down so I switched to 20 mg of prozac.

It works wonders, I really notice when I don't take it, but 20 mg of prozac is nothing like less than 2% of people get side effects at that dose. and the most common is delayed orgasm. which is not that bad I had that with lexapro and it makes for a weird different orgasm because you have to strain really hard lol.

Sucks man, both for you and for her (and fucked up that your grandpa and uncle are such shits).

My mother complains about how hard it is to keep her household clean but when I visit all she does is facebook all day and complaining she has to get up and do stuff.

Luckily she wasn't abused when she was a kid, but when she told me she'd never been punished once, even though as a kid she gave another kid a concussion because she didn't like her face, I started to suspect she'd been neglected. That fucks kids up too.

I just don't get in arguments with her anymore. I know how she wants me to be, so that's who I am when I visit or when she texts me. I live a few towns over and she can't drive so I rarely see her face to face.

Oh definitely. If I'm to be in a relationship with a girl, honesty is big. She doesn't even have to be friendly about it, just let me in on your thoughts, and I'll do my best to do the same (upbringing left me a habitual liar as I subconsciously still feel even the slightest infraction or failure to comply can have very grave consequences).

hahahahaahah kek'd

I wasn't allowed to watch South Park until I was at least 13 (and that's only because my cousin watched it at that age) and I was never allowed to watch Ren and Stimpy (which honestly I'm ok with)

The edited version of that CD was the shit! My poor ass bought it on accident, and I learned to love it.

Did you really have to post that? What did you achieve? Fuck off dipshit

u missed out son

I wasn't allowed to say "hate" either or "shut up".
Our family was never religious but my mum would go apeshit if my sister or I said something blasphemous.. my dad would just laugh kek.

Now I'm 26 and I speak pretty openly with her but she still physically flinches if I swear or say "Jesus Christ", "Oh my god", etc.

that's great that you know what you are looking for when you find a girl, it might take a little time but I'm sure you'll find someone to share your life with and who will help you evolve as a person

I feel happy with my hubby and how he understands my history and can notice when I am having issues with my behavior and talks to me about it, I really know that this crap can end with me because he is helping me become a future good mother

>that edge

>I am a new fag from reddit: the post

They didn't let me see nude scenes in movies until I was like 15. By then I had already seen enough though.

I was also not allowed to have any pet except for a dog. I mean no cats, no small pets like hamsters or guinea pigs, birds(not that I ever wanted one.)

Had to play in our yard, period. Unless a friends parent came over personally thank-you basically swear nothing would happen to me. Also in by dark no exceptions.

I could go on. But it just feeds my depression. And I'm already probably going to skip work today due to said depression. Good news about that is I'm self employed. So as long as I make sure my bills are paid I'm golden.

>still too edgy

retard.

How did your mom even know what hentai was?

...
