What was FORBIDDEN when you were growing up?

Parents raise children so many different ways...whether it has to do with morals, rules or other ways of upbringing. Some households are strict, while others are not. What things did your parents FORBID you and your siblings to do when growing up? How did it make you feel? Did you find yourself rebelling against their wishes at any time? How do you raise your kids differently, now that YOU are the parent? For me, it was listening to rock music (or any other form besides Christian). As a teenager, this was hard to do and I found myself sneaking around to listen to it. Today, I listen to all kinds of music and encourage my kids to do the same (within reason, of course). I do not condone anything with negative messages or words, but I think it's a good thing to broaden ones' mind by enjoying every style. Even though I understand the thinking of my parents (to some extent), it has really had an impact on how I raise my kids. I feel that if you raise your children well and to the best of your ability, they will remember the core values they were taught growing up. They may stray from that a time or two, but over all, they will always remember what they were taught and will eventually go back to what was instilled early on. What do you think?
