Parenting's strangest shouted instructions, from 'no trumpet before 8am' to other absurd rules

Original: “Don’t play your trumpet outside before 8am!” The things you find yourself yelling at the kids that you’d never have tho

A parent has gone viral after recounting the moment they found themselves yelling at their children: 'Don't play your trumpet outside before 8am!' The anecdote has struck a chord with other parents, who are sharing the odd, specific rules they never imagined needing until parenthood forced them into existence. The exchange highlights how everyday family life produces instructions nobody expects to give, and the humorous side of raising musical, early-rising children.

Why now: Parents relate to the comedy of issuing absurdly specific rules they never anticipated before having children.
