Stupid rules

6g of salt is your rda, and iirc 2l water is your rda. If you are a bigger person, you'll need more water and salt, but also if you drink more water, you can drink more salt, as it comes out every time you pee.
If you like a lot of salt, drink a lot of water.

My next door neighbours mum was crazy, no matter what the kids were doing they would end up killing themselves apparntly! she used to scream it at them all the time!
"Don't run near the fence it'll kill you!"
"Don't pick that up it'll kill you!" (This would usually be something that would not kill you - a stick, plastic plantpot, stone, toy)
"Don't sit in the mud it'll kill you!"
No wonder those kids were freaks!

I used to add salt into my food but now i dont, have no idea why ive stopped as i like the taste of salt.
Also i drink about 70% milk and 30% orange squash. Theres never any fizzy drinks in my home.
One silly rule my said was
"Dont drink lemonade(when we used to have it) before sleep as it will give you headachs" I have no idea how this is possible.
ewwww 70% milk and 30% orange squash
that would be kind of horrid in one drink
How old were you when she said this? if you were in your 20's+ then I could understand
I never really got given rules, my mum was very leinient, probably a bit too much really lol.

Rules like that are in place to teach you discipline and to teach you that there are rules that need to be obeyed. Too many kids these days have no respect, self control and no manners simply because they weren't taught this simple lesson.
My Dad was the same. I could understand if there was more than one person at the table but when it was just me on my own at the table I didn't really get the rule then!

Years ago they used to have fabric insulation and when they got wet, yes they were definitely electrifiedMy mum used to always tell me not to go near the lead for the iron because it was electrified when it was on,
even now I am scared to touch the iron lead
My neighbour told her kids that when the ice cream van played music, it was to let you know that they had run out of ice cream.
From my childhood, and I'm sure from many others:-
Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about.

Not really a rule but I used to get told that if I was being naughty or causing a fuss that big foot would come and take me away, so whenever I started they would shout "BIG FOOOOT!" and bang on the wall or floor and I'd run off scared.

I know, so stupid... instead they should encourage running and setup cctv cameras to capture the funny moments when they fall over or run into each other....
£250 a tape... not a bad little earner
anyway, the one thing I thought of when reading this post was when we were in year 6 and on mondays we would all go to the hall and because we were the oldest in the school we would sit at the back... but they didnt let us lean against the wall... which I think is pretty stupid
My parents didn't really ever give me rules (apart from the obvious ones)
I hate when kids are made to sit at the table untill they've eaten everything, or fed things you know they dont like... no idea why parents do that
