What happened to music?

I heartily support your philosophy, as a child whose mother thinks that unmarried people kissing in movies is questionable and sparkling grape juice is evil because it "looks like alcohol." There have definitely been (and still are) moments in my/my sisters' lives where we wanted to do something, bad or not, just because "mom would hate it." Thankfully none of us went overly bonkers with it though :p

Sounds like we may have similar parents. I wasn't allowed to drink coca cola (it's a hard drink) or see any movie that wasn't rated G. Even then, our movies would get shut off for any situations that were even mildly uncomfortable. I remember once having a movie shut off because someone used the term "opposite sex." The word 'sex' even in that totally harmless context meant that the movie was bad.

Not to knock strict parents, but kids are smart. They can understand why things are bad if you have a conversation and let them draw their own conclusions.
