Did you have strange rules growing up?

I can sympathise with several of these stories. Getting dressed for breakfast. Strict bedtime. Asking permission to leave the table. No trousers or tights.

As a boy I was not allowed to wear a hat of any kind in school. As girls my sisters could not wear any pants in school. However they could wear any hat they wanted.

@hippyjoe1955 did you grow up calling jeans dungarees ?

hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M

@AthrillatheHunt No. They were called denims and they were work clothes and not to be worn to school

@AthrillatheHunt No girls panties just don't accommodate my manhood. I go commando.

@AthrillatheHunt lol I knew that. No boys didn't wear shorts where I grew up. I still don't wear them. I do wear kilts though.
