I believe my parents are the strictest parents ever. They make a deal out of everything! Christ! There’s absolutely no way I can make a last minute plan because I need several days to convince my parents to consent to my plans.

Most of these rules are pretty odd, to be honest and most of them were put by my mom since I live with her.
1. I can’t wear pants. No jeans, no shorts, joggers or anything like that. Just skirts and dresses. This one is kind of a nightmare for me since jeans are so comfortable. Every pant I try to bring home is thrown in the trash unless they are pijama pants and depending on the mood i might get a sermon for wearing those as well.
2. Said skirts and dresses can’t be more than 3 fingers above the knee because, you know, it provokes men.
3. No crop tops, no strapless shirts unless I wear something on top of them and not too much cleavage. I just don’t care about this one, to be honest.
4. Can’t read books my mom doesn’t approve. But this one’s not really strict since she’s not a fan of reading and there are so many platforms to read. I get scolded for reading books about other religions or with themes related to supernatural stuff like vampires or witchcraft.
5. Can’t wear makeup. But that one is not bad, it’s not really interesting anyways.
6. Can’t wear any jewelry excepting for my watches and rings but JUST if they have a meaning (graduation and 15 years old). I still wear them and have some hidden around my room. My dad doesn’t care, but to avoid conflicts with mom he stopped buying me jewelry.
7. I must keep my Long hair. Always. Also, as natural looking as possible so changing my hair color is not a thing for me.
8. No swearing, excepting for words like “stupid” or “idiot” and in very rare cases. If any other word slips I better get ready for a 45 minute sermon and no thanks
9. No music other than “worship” is allowed at home. This one’s also not really strict ’cause there are earphones.
10. Have to go to church at least once on weekdays and then on Sunday. But that rule can be avoided if there’s something really important to do.
My mother was fairly strict, for one, my school shoes had to be cleaned every day,and she checked it. You were not allowed to open her closet/cupboard and look for something…you were not allowed to touch anything, let alone look at it if it did not belong to you…If you used a anything, you had to put it back exactly as it were…no lying…when you went out, you had to look the best of all….Sleep in payamas and under wear…wear underwear beneath your clothes.Always dressed in and around the house,closed doors. No masturbation or nudity allowed. We had to make our own beds, and keep our cupboards tidy at all times. No dropping the suitcases in the passage or lounge, but take it to your room— sitting in adult conversation was not allowed, nor interrupting adult conversation.
