Parents
need to set boundaries for their children both as a way to teach them
right and wrong and to keep them safe in the outside world, because kids
who run amok with no boundaries are bound to get hurt.
My
Dad is a very VERY introverted guy, and he never liked to be in large
crowds. So unless it was a school event, I was forbidden from going to
any large crowded events/places like the mall, concerts, sporting
events.
I was told that this was for my own safety.

But
some parents take the setting of household boundaries too far, and
their ridiculous demands affect their kids for the rest of their lives.
We could only eat 2 cookies at a time, and no more than 4 in a day.
I
was living on my own for like a year abiding by this rule, until one
day I was like, "man, I REALLY want three Oreos, not two." And I did
it.

Redditors took to AskReddit to answer the question
"What bizarre rule did your parents enforce that seemed normal, but when you grew up realized was not normal at all?" and their answers prove some parents are
plumb loco.
8:30
pm bedtime. My. Entire. Damned. Life. Though, I knew as a teenager
that making your high schooler go to bed when it was still light out
half the time was whacko.
Well into my 20s I'd come back to visit
for the holidays and dad would get up to use the toilet at night, see
the light on in my room from me being awake reading a book at 10 p.m.,
and yell at me to go to sleep.

There
may have been extenuating circumstances that the Redditors aren't
sharing which led to these bizarre rules, but how does a parent justify
not letting visitors poop in their house?
No one was
allowed to poop in our house. We had a large house and all 4 of us had
our own restrooms. There was this little girl with special needs I
used to play with when I was little and once she had to use the
restroom. My mom asked me where she was and I said she's in the
bathroom. My mom walked in on the poor girl mid-poop and told her to go
home and finish.
