They were pretty strict when I was growing up- once, I was invited to a party given by a classmate when I was about 15, the usual interview-
"Will the parents be there?"
"Yes" fib no. 1
"Will there be boys?"
"No" fib no. 2
So my Dad picks me up from the party, later in the evening. No parents, and I reeked of cigarette smoke. Needless to say, I was grounded for quite a bit.

I told my parents that it was one of my friends who threw up on the bedroom carpet whilst they were on holiday and no, I had no idea why the bedroom now smelt of Southern Comfort either.
Oops.
Countless boy lies.
I told them I wasn't drunk when I came in once. The following day my Nan told me just how b*lloxed I was, she almost managed to keep a straight face too.
I'd done something fairly minor (I was often punished more than I deserved to be) and she said I couldn't have any tea and had to stay in the living room.
I rummaged through one of the drawers in the sideboard and found some toffees.
Boy was I smug :-)
lol Screamy!!
These days, said 17 year old would have ended up on the sex offenders register -snogging would be enough !
I didn't do the actual 'deed' until i was legal! I did stay with him till i was 23 too.
But my M & D would have gone mad if i had a boyfriend at that age.
:-)
Does snogging really warrant a criminal conviction at that age?
I was very scared of my dad....he used to beat the hell out of us for no reason at all. But i didn't do anything im ashamed of, i was never in trouble with the police (that was later in life :-)), didn't do drugs etc i was just being a teenager and i fell in love very early on.
They still don't know, and I'm 50 this year !!!
They know really don't they?
They haven't a clue
My Mum always ranted on about motorbikes, tattoo's and earings.
She even brought it up at a family do last year, Suzie and my daughter Sam nearly choked cos Mum went on and on about I'd never have a motorbike, and I certainly wouldn't have any tattoo's. Sue knows about the bikes, and both knew about my tatts
I have toyed with the idea of putting a temporary tattoo type thing just to see my Mum's reaction (she's one of those people who thinks that only jailbirds have them!).
