Parents took to Reddit to talk about hilarious parenting rules they never thought they'd have to make. Some even posted weird rules their parents had to make for them when they were kids.

Not surprisingly, a lot of these rules have to do with poop, nudity and licking. Yeah, kids are pretty gross. There was, however, at least three that specifically had to do with yogurt!

Here are some of our favourite rules parents have had to make:

"No milking the dog. No making your little brother taste dog milk." - JennyRahl

"No running around the house with your feet covered in yogurt." - tas253

"Do not pick and then eat the cat's eye boogers." - EinsteinEP

""No haunting the neighbours." My daughter used to think it was hilarious the whisper weird crap into the vents of our apartment building, things like: 'You have dishonored your ancestors.

"No crayons in the butter." - bigben74
