My mum had loads:
we weren’t allowed to watch byker grove as a teenager on there slept with someone on holiday and thought she might be pregnant. Presumably this behaviour was catching and I may have got pregnant (while in primary school) by watching this. Actually now that I think about it, perhaps it was a bit weird that a program primary aged kids watched showed one night stands and teen pregnancy and maybe my mum had a point 😂
in a similar vein I was banned from reading Sugar and J17 magazines, because someone told my mum they had given step by step instructions on how to give your boyfriend a blowjob. (Again, reading such things would make me go out at the age of 13 and immediately start giving blow jobs.) I actually don’t believe this was true as I never saw those teenage magazines give anything but sensible advice about teenage sex.
Chicken which had been cooked by someone else. Like, chicken cooked at home was fine, but a shop bought chicken sandwich, or a chicken burger from a takeaway would likely cause immediate food poisoning and therefore wasn’t allowed.
Eating or drinking while walking down the street was considered ‘low brow’. We had to sit on a bench to do such things.
No one could ever have a meal which didn’t have 2 side vegetables (even if the main meal contained large amounts of veg). To skip the veg would cause immediate malnutrition and/or obesity.
bless my lovely mum. I loved her so much but she had some very set very odd ideas.
