4. You can’t stay out past 9P.M.

Even if your parents allow you to be home by midnight, you’ll never hear the end of your grandmother’s scolding for coming home so late. Even worse than that is when our parents also get a taste of her anger for being too lenient on their kids.

If you need a sewing kit, you know you’re better off buying your own than borrowing from your grandmother’s supplies. One misplaced item and you will never hear the end of it from her.
