House Rules For Teenagers
I’ve seen lots of “house rules” in my day…
If you open it, close it. If you turn it on, turn it off. If you unlock it, lock it. Don’t draw on the walls, etc. etc.
What I’ve yet to see is anything that applies to my house, my life, and my situation living with my three teenagers right now. So I made a damn list of rules myself. Not that my children will ever read it, but somehow it makes me feel better writing this stuff down. I least I can say that I told them so.

Love, love, love this!! I need to frame this and hang it in each boy’s bedroom, and the kitchen, and the living room, and the bathroom, and their trucks, and the work shop. Maybe I’ll just tack it direct to their foreheads…
Go for it, Deni!
They probably still won’t read it. LOL
True story! Wonder if I could devise something to trick them into reading it…
Tell them it involves free beer or pizza or something LOL
This was funny but true, right? We made my son sign a contract of good behavior which could be revoked (pretty much at any time).on another subject, I think I know how the shopping could work. I’ll be here on my skype and you will be at the store on your iphone and you could try clothes on and show me. last night my son skyped us on his iphone and it worked perfect. What do you think about that?
I like that! Now to figure out a time to go. I have two shopping trips to make – one for a cocktail dress, one for a ball gown. The ball gown would be fun.
Ball gown, awesome! I’m basically free now that I’m a single lady again,
just let me know what works for you, remember the time diff!
OK, I’ll try to think of a time this week. I’ll let you know. It should be good.
Classic. love it.
Love it! I am going to share this on my facebook fan page tonight, I think. Looks like you are doing well in the contest. Still voting for you daily.
((hugs))
Thanks for the share. And for the contest. I haven’t checked it all weekend. Not the best at keeping up with that stuff. Still fun though.
LOL it is fun. It is nice that they let us all vote for as many as we want. Not sure how the top one has over 10000 votes unless they found a way around the system. Maybe they are just cooler than us. LOL That said it is fun. I love your blog and am happy to vote for you.
Not sure about those top blogs. But I just voted for you too. You are up there. One of us has to represent.
I’ll add two here. 1) If I allow you to bleach your hair in the bathroom and give you towels that I dom’t care about for you to use, don’t use my beautiful lime green hand towels to dry your hands off. If I wanted splotchy towels I would have bought them like that and 2). If your friends come over and we have a full orange juice jug, or other beverage, this does not mean you can allow them to drink 3/4 of it, and think I won’t be mad grrrrrr
LOL SOOO true. funny part is it’s my middle child – Charlie – who does the bleaching of the hair and messes up my towels. And I hate it when they bring over their friends and everyone eats all the food and drinks all the drinks. So with you on those points, so with you.
This was great — I’ve got 3 boys and 2 are teens..I’m going to remember these rules!
Glad I could be of service LOL.
Of course, the first rule is the most important one.
DKIA
Of course it is. That’s why it’s number one.
You know, I’d frame it and hang it up in their rooms. Make them read it! Show’m who’s the boss!
I tried to read it to them and they ran away. I will have to frame it now, and hang it directly over their beds, or make it the screensaver on their phones…LOL
Brilliant! My mom once caught me fooling around with my boyfriend in grade eleven and to this day we still laugh like drains at the memory.
LOL. I can just see that happening.
