Each household has its own rules.
But sometimes, growing up, there were rules that we now just don’t understand.
Well,u/poothhippersrecently askedr/AskReddit, “Whats the weirdest rule you had to follow at your childhood home?”
Here are some of the wildest responses:
1.
“1) Thanks for having so much faith in me mum.
- I’m pretty sure you are allowed sugar for your tea in prison.”

“We werent allowed to talk during meals.
My parents said it was to teach us discipline, but it just made dinners really awkward.”

3.
“Was actually a friend not me.
The kitchen, living room and conservatory were completely off limits.
If they wanted water they had to ask and a parent would bring a glass from the kitchen.
It really weirded me out as a kid when I went round.”
When it was time to leave my mate had to call for his parents to then escort me out.
No idea why they had this rule.

“We were not allowed to cut through the flowerbed out front to get to the sidewalk.
It absolutely terrified me until I was old enough to know better.”

One article she read said that the smell of human urine deters deer.
“We had to go outside and pee somewhere around the perimeter of her garden.
It wasn’t as successful as she hoped.
The final solution was an eight foot tall fence around the entire garden a few years later.”
