My siblings and I too referred to elders in the community as Mr or Mrs ?? Still do it today it feels weird calling them by their first names even though I know what they are lol.

It was expected of us as teenagers to visit my Grandparents (late 70's and early 80's respectfully they were in) even though my older cousins didn't need to. We had to but my Brother who is 4 tears older didn't need to as he played Football so he was exempt

We must attend church EVERY Sunday... although my Dad and Brother were exempt from this. I was able to stop going at 16 when I got a part time job

Cause I went to a Catholic high school it was compulsory to attend Mass until I reached the senior years (16 years old) in high school

I was not allowed boys in my bedroom even though I had male friends. My Brother though was allowed girls in his room no questions asked

We had a rota in our house which we must adhered to. Except my Twin who was ill. I had to do double chores

If we wanted a toy or anything like that a privilege we had to earn the money. We were not given pocket money from my parents. My Granda gave us pocket money back in 90's when we were under 13 years old.... back in my day lol it was 50p we were given a week. Then it went up to a £1 when I hit 13 years old lol. Kids today get anything from £10- £20 a week no joke.

Think that's it, but could be more lol. Oh to be young again lol
