Do you have any Rules to follow in your house?

I guess all houses have some rules or they follow some traditions like not staying outside after a set time at night or not buying anything expensive without discussing it with the head of the family or anything like not using your phone or any gadgets on the dining table or have a fixed time to off the lights and sleep and like that. Do you have any Rules to follow in your house?

It is expected visitors call up before they come. It is not like in the good old days when there were no phones that they suddenly dropped in and mother had chase a chicken in the garden to make a curry for them (lol)

When I was young at home we had all these rules. Now my biggest rule at home is everybody quiet after 9 at night.

I prefer people take their shoes off in my apartment, but I don’t insist on it. Mainly, my friends are the ones who do it because they know I prefer it.

We don't really have rules. There are things we tend to do.

Yes, there are few 1. No outside shoes inside beyond shoe rack 2. No touching food or anything in the kitchen without handwash. 3. Cleaning after your work. 4. Putting things back to where they belong. 5. Keeping bathroom floor clean and dry after every use And many more. I have an OCD with cleanliness and order.

I would say I do, but since I live alone, it's more routine than rules.
