House Rules and News Reports
As always have been when summer vacation ends and our children are advised to sleep early there are these little arguments. Of course their voices are always heard but what the Commander in Chief (My wife) decides is final and unappealable.
Our house rules are simple: (As approved on the 10th reading)
· Sleeping time is 9:00 pm or earlier during school days.
· Computers are for research and school projects use only during school days. Friday’s and Saturday’s can be used for playing.
· All school expenses must be justifiable and with receipt or invoice.
· Increase in allowance depends on salary increase of the Vice-Commander (that’s me).Transportation expense subject to costing analysis.
· Limit telephone use to only 10 minutes per person at one time. Consecutive use of phone is not allowed whether in-bound or out-bound calls.
· Must always be present during meals, failure to do so would mean reduced in share of viands or possible empty share of dinner/lunch.
· Homework’s must be finished as soon as possible. Preferably after arriving from school or after finishing meal (when needed).
· Watching T.V./DVD is only allowed after finishing homeworks and after doing house chores.
· Wasting of school supplies will be penalized with deduction in computer playing time. Always used and conserve them properly.
Now, friends do you have your own house rules you want to share with me?

Hi! One other - treat the family home as you would treat your own. My children are great chlldren but they were known in the past to be not so good. Then I would ground them - only to see them exiting via their bedroom window and running off to their mates. Mind you, it’s pretty hard to ground an 18 year old. Take Care!

LOL..we are the exact opposite of your home. Here are our chores rules…
http://www.icantbelievemylife.com/2007/07/issue-of-allowanceshort-vesion.html
Our children are homeschooled. They play video games as much as they want. They play outside as much as they want. We do NOT have homework because…well…we homeschool. They do chores according to our chore chart list and that’s our life. And they do NOT have a bed time. They stay up until 3:00am if they want. They feel it the next day but that’s how they learn.
Relaxed? yes Does it work?
We have a 15 year old son with 1 1/2 years of College under his belt and an 11 year old who is chomping at the bit to go to college now! LOL We’re making him wait until he’s 14.
You say Tomato I say Tomato…rofl..you know what i mean.
I love to see how other people raise their kids. Difference is good.

Shelly - Thank you for sharing your house chores. “Different strokes for different folks”. Just as long as we achieve our purpose of guiding our children to be God fearing and a responsible citizen of our country, isn’t it?

Absolutely! My goal isn’t to get them into Harvard, but to get them into Heaven. I’m with you on that.
Nice to read your thoughts. I was raised very much like your children are being raised. I had a wonderful childhood and I’m very close with my parents. Kudos to you.
Hope to drop by more as time goes by.
