I had to be in bed by 9:00 till i was like 13. there i said it. My mom was an old school strict christian mom, she didnt play that even for a second.that shit used to used to piss me off cause i never got to watch New York Undercover .i didnt get into it until the reruns came on USA years later and i got pissed the fuck off all over again.the time that really tore my ass apart was when Oprah had a MAJOR interview with Michael Jackson at 9:00 and everyone watched it but me.I never told my homies i was going to bed at 9 of course.whenever they asked me if i saw melrose place or something i always said i was on the phone or something.what really used to piss me off was we'd go to church on sundays and get home at 11pm.if i can stay up late for that why cant i watch Hermans Head?
looking back,all the things dukes did was to make sure i came up right.all my cousins who could do what they wanted ended up going to jail,getting popped,having babies real young and all that.one of my cousins has a price on his head and can never go back to his old hood.sometimes me and my girl be talking about how she was walking around at 14 with her belly hanging out wondering how she was gonna feed herself and a baby and i realize the biggest worry i had was if i could beat Super Mario by 9:00.so i guess im saying thanks mom...WITH YO CHEAP ASS!!!! (i kid i kid)

hey.. I didn't have to be in bed that early or did I it was a while ago lol the tv was in my room at some point....I always use to watch New York undercover that was my show!!!! I remember Herman's head as well...kinda foggy though.. yeah mommy's come in handy.... I'm adopted by my grandparents... My granny is a messianic jew(born again Christian jew) and she was extra strict lol.. guess thats why I kinda rebelled but nothing major according to me lol....I had to go to church all the time when i was a kid... Sunday,Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday... different services one in the city the other in queens blah... you know how many times I missed the fresh prince I was pissed lol
Question how old are u??? I'm just turned the big 2-4 okay to mths ago lol... we seem to be in the same age bracket I think??? I was a stan for immature and marques Houston as well ( i read ur previous blogs on that lol)...
1.you know imma clown yo ass bout being in bed @ 9:00 right
2.ya homies watched melrose place? GAY...
3.lmmfao @ yo' ass missing new york undercover cause them episodes when Ice-T was on there and the black dude fiance got killed, good ass t.v right there
4.why you right tho cause alot of my cousins who got to do what they wanted, all of em messed up somehow, i think all kids need structure, and it's obvious you had it, i know we had it as kids, i give it to my kids, during the summer they can stay up till bout 11:00 or so when school starts back, it's 9:00pm for they ass, and when the time go back, lmao it's 8:30.....
5.you know imma clown yo ass bout being a grown ass man and you had to go to bed @ 9:00 right....
LMAO!!!!
Parents do know best even though we can't see it then...and hell i wanted to watch In living color but momz was like hell no, go to bed...lol
Rebecca-im 27.lol at how that marques houston thing stuck out so much.i didnt think much of it when i was writing it but it might as well have been the only thing i wrote that day
chrissy - i was not grown i was 12 and dont be mad cause i was refreshed and ready to learn in the morning
bammy-yeah sometimes parents just dont understand
my mom was the same way. we had to be in when the street lights came on. we couldnt go the movies with everybody else cuz no adults were going, we couldnt go trick or treating or nothin. Now I'm the same way with my son Im know he gonna be mad as hell when he get older and realize it. Shit I dont even let him go outside and play now unless im out there too.
ha ha, my son is gonna be 9 ys old soon and his bedtime is 9pm.
in the summer he get to stay up til 9:30pm.
and if his ass act up in the store while i'm shopping, it could be 2pm in the afternoon, he has to go to sleep when we get home.
he always say "but i'm not even sleepy, maybe i just watch tv or read til i fall asleep"
and that would be a big ol NOPE cuz his lil crazy tail shoulda thought of not being sleepy when he was trying to break dance and pop lock, and crip walk all in front of the dressing room mirrors
in the store.
and yes that bedtime will be enforced until he get some bass in his voice when he tells me it ain't fair. tee hee
ms biggie shorty
I remember I couldn't talk on the phone after 9. I hated that.
Now that I'm thinking back on it... I didn't really have a "bed time" I just had to be inside before the street lights came on... that was up until I was 10. It was the south ya'll, so things were a little different. Then when we moved to Seattle, I couldn't go outside AT ALL. My mom swore a white person was gonna snatch me. This rule lasted till I moved out her house. damn.
9pm don't sound so bad dude.
co-sign @ cherish, i was raised the same way and i'll be treating my son the same. i'm paranoid, especially with the way this world is, and hell, in GOOD reason!
nodays, once again, I can relate. While i don't recall the actual time that was enforced by mom's I do remember hearing "is the light on???...or "is the tv on???"..."you need to go to bed!"
sleep overs? forget about it. unless my company was comin' over my house.
field trips? forget about it. unless mom could get the time off work to come too.
playin' outside in the front yard while school was out for the summer? ain't gonna happen - unless i was in the backyard.
walk down to the candy store by myself or even home from school by myself? forget about it.
My mom didn't play. I applaud her though, because I made it to 30 unharmed, unmolested and with all my thinking faculties. So did my brother and sister. So hats off to the strict moms! They knew exactly what they were doin'.
my parents were pretty lenient about bedtimes as long as I got my homework done... I go to bed way earlier now than I did back in high school.
i never really had a bedtime..had a tv in my room and everything..watching Snick on saturdays and everything lol
I co-sign with that. At the time, you wanted to cuss your mom out (in your head of course), but it was all for a good cause.
LOL at you wanting to watch NY Undercover!!!
no field trips? no playin in the front yard? thats crazy
i thought my mama was horrible, my mama didnt want me to go to the other apartment complexes but i just started lyin and went anyway
usually i could do whatever i wanted if i said it was me and my cousin goin, anybody else she would ask me a million questions
Man Nodays.. in your day it was NY Undercover.. my days it was Arsenio Hall.. back in the day when he had all the good guests (except Paula Abdul.. lol) It's all for a good reason though.. my daughter is 14 and I'll be damned if she don't have her ass in the bed by 9:30.. lights out.. tv off.. and don't make me come back in this room again or it's gonna be TROUBLE.. TROUBLE.... LOL!!!
Thanks once again for the memories!!
