House Rules For Kids

1. Do not talk, if talk mum or dad.

2. Fix your problems with your sibling (s) or I will remove (and you may not like my fix).

3. Tell your mother that you love her meals, every time she makes you a meal.

4. When we get home late from practice a sport or club meetings around - - - with her and not an attitude that if one in the car. Be happy you have "parent limousine service," that you do not pay for.

5. Do not talk so loud that Dad can not hear hisConversation with Mom.

6. Do not waste money by Mom and Dad's drinking water in bottles around the house. What is it like most of the mineral water. Bottled water is no safer than the water that we drink in the U.S. from the tap. And several studies have shown that tap water is considered better than bottled water in blind test taste. (Blind tests are, when people who do not know the test, whether they drink tap water or bottled water when they say tastes better.) Drink tap watercosts about 50 cents per year per person. Drinking the same amount of bottled water costs about $ 1,400 per year. Stop it, a jerk! One day I want you to be able to say that "My Dad is not entitled to a fool!"

7. Do not touch Dad's leftover Chinese food or Mom's dessert.

8. These words work really well, "Hello." "Good morning." "I love you." "Please." "Thanks." "Yes, Dad." "Yes, Mama." "Yes Sir / Ma am." "No, sir / ma am." Use them.

9. Keep your room clean or expect to lose, tooPrivileges.

10. During family dinners when we're at home or in a restaurant: sit up straight, use a fork and knife, close your mouth when chewing, and remain seated until you are finished.

11. Chew gum with your mouth closed. The world will not hear you or see the chewing gum in his mouth. Good manners for a horse is not good manners for you.

12. Make your bed each day.

13. Put your dirty laundry in the basket.

14. Never tell me that youbored. For the most part, only boring people are bored.

15. Do not ask me the same thing over and over again ... I react badly to be rushed.

17. Do not be a selfish member of the family.

18. Homework comes first.

19. Do not commit yourself to me. This leads to all sorts of problems.
