20 Phrases That Are All Too Familiar To Kids Who Have Strict Parents

I think that I can speak for many kids with strict parents when I say that it is not the easiest thing in the world to deal with. While my friends are all having sleepovers and going out late at night, I am cleaning my room and helping with the chores. Here are a few things that you may just hear slip out of your mother or father's mouth if you live in a household with strict parents:

1. "When will you be back?"

2. "Who is going?"

3. "Where are you going?"

4. "Will their parents be there?"

5. "Not until you're done with your chores."

6. "It's a school night. No, you can not have a sleepover."

7. "I will give you some spending money if you do a little work around the house."

8. "A party? I don't think so."

9. "He better come meet us before he picks you up."

10. "Don't you dare use that word in my household."

11. "Not a sip of alcohol until you're 21."

12. "You are not wearing that to school. Go change."

13. "No, you can't know the parental code for the TV."

14. "I called you ten times, where have you been?"

15. "You need to tell me when you switch locations."

16. "Call me when you get there."

17. "You better have your feet in this door by 11 p.m. or you're grounded."

18. "Leave your phone downstairs before you go to bed so that we know that it is off."

19. "Who are you texting?"

20. "You can't leave until your homework is done."

But, we all know that they just have these rules to keep us safe and because they care. Shout out to all of the strict parents out there, keeping us "grounded."
