What things do you not let your DC have that others parents do.

Just intersted really.

My DS is in reception (nearly 5) and all his friends and cousins around similar age have a TV in their rooms but both DH and I refuse to let him have one. He goes up to bed at half six, I read him a story and then he can choose a book to look at (read) before i go back in at 7:15pm to take it off him (usually he has fallen asleep with book on face).

We don't let him play out on the front (even though we live on a close) without me sitting on my chair with him when all the other children on the close are allowed.

We don't let him brush his own teeth either although recently we have let him start brushing them and we finish them off.

oh yeah, I have zero tolerance for violence and I don't agree with telling kids to "hit 'em back" either.

I never banned anything really.

DS 14 and DD 12.

They never had a tv in their room, but DS just got a laptop and watches tv on that in his room.

Try to avoid buying stuff with aspartame but never minded if they had it occassionally.

They played out from 4 as we live in a quiet cul-de-sac where lots of children play out.

No problem with anything like Macdonalds, although DS went to Kentucky Fried Chicken for the first time in his life the other day.

Agree KaeKae

They have turned out to be pretty nice kids despite not having neglectful parents.

My lovely DD asked last night if there was anywhere she could go to

sorry that should be "despite having neglectful partent"

Old school strict parenting here.
