This is so funny! Everything that everyone has said her/his parents forbade...well, that's the beginning of what my parents outlawed!! LOL!
When I was very, very little, we couldn't afford a t.v.
When I was very little, we had maybe 5 channels, but I couldn't watch anything after about 6 PM unless it was the news. Also, I was allowed 30 minutes of t.v. a day - otherwise I was expected to be doing chores, homework (when I was old enough) or playing outside.
When I was in high school, I could pretty much watch what I wanted as long as there was no sex, violence or VAMPIRES (my mother hates vampires with a passion.)
My parents just got cable when I was 24!!
**I used to watch all sorts of stuff at my friends' houses, so I experienced some of what other kids were seeing.
