How Strict Are Your Parents?

Not all parents come alike. Some control their kids so much that they're not allowed to choose what they wear or have friends, and others allow their kids to stay up all night playing video games and smoking weed.

So where do your parents fall on this vast spectrum? Are they the center of authority? Do they not care? Or do they balance what's right with what's fun well? Take the quiz and see how strict (or easygoing) your parents really are.

You go to a friend's party promising your parents you won't be under the influence of anything. 4 hours later you show up home drunk. And high. You will expect your parents to-
- Yell, scream, and inflict something violent on you. Especially because you had to sneak out in the first place.
- Ground you until "further notice", and take away your phone. Also probably never trust you to party again.
- Some form of punishment, and a lecture about drugs and alcohol, but mostly talking about what provoked it and how to make better choices next time.
- Peacefully talk about it the next day when you are sober, and soon trust that you will make better choices on your own.
- Write it off, because it was just a little mistake
- Force you to do something difficult for them in your current state. That'll teach you a lesson! But mostly because they were too lazy to do it on their own.
What are your parents' rules on dinner?
- What dinner?
- You choose what to have and they make it without question. Eat it however you want too.
- You can choose what you have, if it's healthy and you can cook it. Dinners are very informal.
- Basic stuff: no screens, napkin on lap, wait until everyone's sitting, etc. Reasonable dessert. You have some cooking responsibilities.
- Strict rota on who cooks, and almost nothing sweet. Pretty formal, have to be involved in conversation and pretty much the entire dinner process.
- Not trusted to cook. Nothing sweet. Hey, get your elbows off the table. Tuck in your shirt. Is that the butter knife I see you using? No, no, no, that's the wrong knife...
