Parenting's odd rules: no trumpet before 8am

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 described yelling at their children not to play the trumpet outside before 8am, noting it is one of many instructions nobody imagines needing before having kids. Other parents are sharing the sentiment, agreeing that raising children routinely produces strange, unexpected rules and everyday moments no one could predict in advance.

Why now: Parents find the absurd, relatable household rule funny and are echoing it with their own examples.
