When I was sixteen I told my mom I was staying over night at my boyfriends sisters house who was married. I told her they were having a New Years party and that since it was a hour away we would be staying there. Instead my boyfriend and I caught the train into New York City which was three hours away and ate there and watched the ball drop. We took the train back home which was the morning by then and I went home. It is a good thing something didn't happen to us. (My boyfriend was 18)

Was afraid to speak at all for fear of over reaction. There was no discipline in the home at all and I used to get in trouble at school for speaking out of turn.

I know my siblings and I weren't. We had other rules but weren't really told to not speak out of turn since it's just kind of basic manners (which we got plenty of).

We were told the, 'don't speak until spoken too' or 'if I want your opinion I'll ask for it'. You were afraid to 'back talk' in those days, at least more than once.

No, never. I was raised by parents who were very permissive only because parenting was very difficult for them. My dad was raised by foster parents for most of his childhood, and my mom was raised by parents who were very permissive for their own reasons. The result was that I experienced youth in a different way than most -some good things came of that, some not so good. But I'm okay now!

Oh yes I remember that and we learned to say excuse me and thankyou . We also heard, little pigs have big ears, children should be seen and not heard, this is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you , clean up your plate because all the children in India are starving . Lies ,all lies! The bottom line is, to expect respect, we must also give it and that is how children learn.

As a child, I sure did get told that,. And if I didn't I would start to hear the sound of bells. Whap whap!
As an adult, I can't tolerate folks who run all over your words.

More like "don't speak until you are spoken to". We didn't open our mouths around adults, until we were asked a question.
