A list of things your parents were strict about but now makes sense

Growing up we were all subjected to rules or advise which at the time we got upset about.
But looking back now, alot of it was us being childish. Think about it. How many times were you shouted at to switch off lights? Now look at you and your tokens fighting Kenya Power and the cost of electricity.
Someone asked this question and got lots of relatable answers below.
