  1. My parents set the rules in my household. I have to help with dishes and must always complete my homework before I'm allowed to go out or use my electronics. I also have to help out with the cats. For instance, I change their water and help my older cat to eat. I also help set up for dinner and have to keep my room clean and tidy. If I don't follow the rules, I get my electronics confiscated and am not allowed out to play with my friends. I honestly don't break the rules often and I think the worst thing I've ever done is to leave the house and slam the door behind me when I was frustrated with my brother. My parents were really mad because they thought it was too dangerous for me to be out on my own so late in the evening. That time, I lost my electronics for a couple of days, which got me even madder. I still don't think that was fair because my brother got me into the bad mood in the first place.

  3. The person who sets the rules in my house is my mom. If I chose not to follow the rules, the consequence is that my phone gets taking away for at least two days, sometimes more. Once I got it taking away for I think four months, I totally forgot about it! I have broken about all the house rules. Most of the rules that I broke were my brother's fault he always gets me on my last nerve and that's when I finally burst and start yelling at him! The other times was just me putting my opinion out there and my mom didn't like my opinion so she takes away my phone.

  4. My parents set the rules in my house. For instance, I have to help set the table for supper, do the dishes, clean my Guinea Pig’s cage, do my chores and complete all my homework and not spend a lot of time on my electronics. If I don’t follow those rules, there are consequences. The consequences are that my electronics get taken away for a week or so. A house rule that I broke: It started off with me and my brother arguing and I got really mad so I left and went to the park with a few of my friends to get some fresh air and get my mind off of the argument. When I got back home, I was in trouble for not telling my mom that I was leaving the house.

    1. My parents have many of those rules. I got in trouble many times for leaving the house and not telling my parents, even when I was just in the backyard. I think you did a great job on your blog!

  5. At my house my mom set the rules. If we don’t follow the rules we get punished. Depending on the severity of your act you get different levels of punishment. I have broken LOTS house rules in my life. For example: Homework before Reading, no electronics past 9:00 ( I Broke that rule so much my parents don’t even care anymore cause I’m most likely reading my book or a Wiki Page or something).etc . Punishments for those types of things are small like no reading after school the next day (the reading one kills me). But the bigger thing equal bigger the punishment. Like if my brother or I breaks something important (For example when my brother broke one of my parents favorite wedding gifts by throwing this beaver thing in the air and it knocked the item off the shelf and broke it) we will get our electronics taken away ( kindles only in extreme situations cause that would be taking away the possibility to read which is one of the worst punishments for me) and we won’t be able to play with our friends. Those a some of rules and punishments of my house.

  6. In our House the rules are set by my parents. They are the ones that decide what is right and what is wrong. I usually try to obey these rules. Although I don't always listen to them and they will take my phone away ( I am grounded now the only reason they gave it to me was to write my blog) I have broken many house rules but my parents don't set very big ones. So one of them was when I stay up late on my phone it's not really a serious thing but they do get mad at me for it :( And give me consequences such as taking my phone away for a few hours. Anyway that's my blog!!!!

  7. At house my Mom makes the most of the rules. On school nights I'm not allowed my phone past 10, no television until i've done all my homework, I have to keep my room clean, and I try very hard to keep it clean but it's never to my mom's satisfaction . If I don't follow the rules in my house I get my phone taken away for at least a week. I don't really break a lot of rules, one. because my parents are not that strict and, two. because I don't have any siblings to fight with...etc...

    1. Those are some really well thought rules Laura. I think that they're really smart because it'll always make sure that homework is done before you watch t.v. Great blog!

    2. I don't have any siblings either which might have shortened the list of rules like fighting.

      Cool blog!!!!!!!!

    3. Those rules make a lot of sense and they sound like really fair rules. Also you so lucky you don't have to chair anything because when you have a little brother like I do it seems like no matter what it is they always want what you have!

    4. Your rules are similar to my house rules. Great blog Laura :)

  8. My mother, Johanne sets the house house. My sister Jordan and I live by my mom’s rules. Such rules like: be nice to each other and put things back where they belong, “pick up after yourself, you don’t live in a hotel!”. “I’m your mother not your maid!” she always says. “Each thing has it’s place for a reason”. “Mom says it’s never ok to hit” Those are just a few of the many quotes she uses to remind us of her most important rules.

    Have I broken any rules? The answer is yes. Unfortunately, I have broken a few rules. Although I’m a very good kid, I sometimes break rules like not cleaning up after myself, not putting things back where they belong and annoying my sister. But instead of getting mad at me, she laughs and smiles and gets distracted from her homework. When I break a rule, my mother doesn’t do anything too bad. She’ll usually yell very loudly at me in multiple languages, sometimes in languages I don’t even understand.

  9. In my house my parents set the rules, like:School comes first, you have to ask and say where you are going, when you are out you have to check in with mom or dad, don’t be disrespectful to mom and dad and your siblings, and do your chores. If me or my siblings don’t follow the rules we get spoken to by my parents and told not to do it again. For example, if me or my sisters get a bad grade on a test we get asked why we didn’t get a better grade and learn to do better next time. If the rule that we broke was terrible then we get our phones taken away. The only house rule I could think of that I broke was going to a friend’s house and forgetting to text my parents and getting in trouble. That’s the only one I could think of because I don’t really break any rules. In conclusion, house rules at my house aren’t that tough to follow.

  10. My parents set the rules in my house but mostly my mom. My mom likes to know where I'm going and who I'm with 24/7. My dad is more calm and he lets me go where I want "within reason". When my parents aren't home my brother makes the rules and I normally listen to him unless it's something that he wants me to do like: he wants me to do his chores and he always says that he's the boss of the house when my parents are not home, which is true. But when he tells me to do things like that I don't do it because my parents wouldn't make me do it if they were home.

    When me or my brother don't listen to rules we normally have a consequence. The consequences that my parents give me and my brother are normally we are not allowed to watch t.v. or my parents just speak to us and ask us why we did that.The rules aren't that bad after all. The rules in my house are very simple 1. Do your chores 2. Do your homework 3. Text mom or dad if we are going anywhere. These rules don't bother me at all. Something that does bother me though is when I get in trouble by my brother. Like overtime he brakes something he blames it on me, but my parents know I didn't do it.

    The only rules I've ever broken was forgetting to text or call my parents when I went somewhere but my parents didn't really mind because they talked with me afterwards and they understood that I forget to do stuff sometimes.

    Anyways that was my 2nd blog hope you like it

  11. In our house my parents are the ones who make the sets of rules, but sometimes if my sibling or I get in trouble then my whole family can make a decision of what will be the consequence(s).Some of the specific rules in my house is to get good grades\ do well in school, no electroniques late at night and not to be mean\don’t say really bad curse words. If I broke a rule my consequences would usually be that my parents would take my electroniques away or I would have to do something that I wouldn’t want to do. One of the rules that I have broken was staying up all night on my devices and being mean to my brother because he was so annoying.Those are the rules in my house that I have to follow.

  13. My parents set the rules because there older than me and they technically own me. Yes such has clean up after yourself, respect others ,and more of the same. Yes we discuss together and if we don`t find a solution the thing were trying to do just doesn`t get done. I always do, I find it hard to not break the rules every once and a while. Thanks for reading my blog.

  14. The rules in my house are pretty simple it's basically like don't leave the TV on when you're done watching it, don't make a mess that I don't want to clean up and things like that. I'm also lucky that I don't have many chores my chores are take my dog Ruby outside, clean up her poop "yuuuuuuck but she's my doggy so I don't care" and cleaning up the table after dinner. If I break a rule usually my parents tell me I have to go to bed early on a weekend and I hate going to bed early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But if I forget to do one of my chores my parents just say don't forget next time unless it's something that keeps happening the they'll tell me I have to go to bed early. The reason that is the consequence is because like I said before I hate going to bed early!

  15. My parents set all the rules in my house. A rule my mom is very strict about is to not wear shoes in the house unless they are slippers or they’re new and you’ve never worn them before. Also my parents don’t like when I eat in a place other than the dining area (for example: my room). If I break either of these rules my mom and dad would just tell me not to do it again and to clean up after myself if I've made a mess after breaking one of the rules. Usually, there aren’t consequences for breaking the rules unless it got extremely out of hand. I’ve only been been punished maybe once or twice.

  16. In my house, my parents set the rules. But it's mostly my mom. The main rules are, get good grades, don't go outside alone after 9:00 o'clock, no electronics during the week and my room always has to stay clean (even tho it never is). I once took sprayable sunscreen and sprayed it all over the walls. My sister got mad cause i spelled her name to make it look like she did it.Til this day the mark is still on the wall. I got my electronics taken away for a month, I wasn't happy.

  17. In my house my parents set the rules. Its mostly my Dad though. The rules are get good grades (above 85 percent), after 9:30pm I have to be asleep, for my brother 10pm, do your chores and always keep our rooms clean and organized. Yes, I have broken every single one of the rules many times. Once my mom said I had to do my homework instead of playing with bubbles, so I went in my room waited until she left and spilt bubble formula all over the house on purpose and blamed it on my brother. In the end I had to clean it up, but at least I didn't have enough time to do my homework!

  18. In my house, my mom sets the rules. The rules are to complete your homework before watching TV or going on our Ipads, We're not allowed to watch TV after 8:00 pm because of school and we are not allowed to eat on the sofa in front of the TV. If there is homework due the next day, I always finish it before watching TV, but my brother and I have broken the no TV after 8 rule a few times. My brother and I have broken the rule of no eating on the sofa many, many times, but when my mom finds out, all we had to do was go eat on the table until we were finished.

  19. In my household my parents set the rules, like most of us. Im an only child so most of the chores are left for me to do. One of the biggest rules is that I must be in bed by 10:30 maximum and need to get off my electronics by 9:30.I also must do the dishes every night, make my bed every morning, clean my room once a week,never bring food up to my room and fold my clothes. Obviously I don't most of those things ;)but I try my best to follow those rules ( not really )! The rule I dont follow the most is doing the dishes and have gotten yelled at for not doing them many times, oops!

    1. My parents are very similar. I get scolded for bringing food into my room and when I don't empty the dishwasher (which A lot) I also don't do things like make my bed. What i do sometimes is i sleep with this really fluffy warm blanket I have on top of my made bed so I don't have to make it (this obviously won't work in the winter cause it will be to cold but for now it works)

  20. In my house, my aunt ( I live with my aunt and uncle) sets the rules. One of the main rules is that school comes first. I have to finish my school work before i could watch T.V. Another rule is I have to clean up after myself. I can’t leave anything lying around the house. I also have to keep in touch with them if i go to the park or something like that. If I don't follow any of the rules I get consequences. I either get t my phone taken away if it's something really bad. But if me and my brother fight we both get sent to our rooms even if he started it. I remember one time I broke a rule . I went to the park with my friends and didn't answer my aunt or uncle when they texted me and they eventually got worried. I was lucky I didn't get a bad consequence because I got warning that it doesn't happen again.

  21. It's mostly my mother who sets the house rules, however the rules we do have are very basic and easy to follow. Most of the time I follow the rules and if I don't my parents will take something away from me, like a book I was reading or my phone (even though I never use it), my sister on the other hand breaks the rules all the time and like me she gets her phone taken away but for her taking her phone away is like cutting off her air supply, she can't live without it, the rules in my house are very tame and I hope they stay that way.

  22. My mom sets the rules in our house. However, there are not many. There is one simple rule: respect others and treat everyone fairly. My mom takes this rule very seriously.

    One day, when I was about 6 years old, my sister kept annoying me. At one point I got so mad that I pushed her hard. My parents were very mad at me. I was yelled at and sent to my room. I was not allowed to play with my brother and sister for one day. );

    This rule is still a rule that our family follows today. If I break the rule, I get the "look" and a speech. However, I'm lucky to get along with my siblings.

  23. My parents are separated so I have different rules for both of my houses. If you want my honest answer, there's only one rule that applies with my parents: obey whoever's in charge. And what happens if I brake a rule? Anything can happen! That's what makes it so scary!For example if I have a friends party coming up, that fun night could be on the line ( but of course that's not true.) Otherwise, I'm just sent to my room, but that doesn't really happen anymore. Have I ever broken any house rules? Of course! Most of the time I get into trouble because I don't come to the dinner table, but now I'm older, and and I don't get into trouble often which is great for everyone, for my parents because they don't have to worry about me and of course, for me because getting in to trouble just stinks.

  24. At my house there are only two rules they are clean after yourself and do your chores. Personally I dislike doing my chores even though they are the easiest compared to my brothers but, they are daily chores. My chores are: put away the dishes, clean the table also make smoothie for my parents because if I do not they give me some sort of punishment, and every so often clean the house. I normally do not even need to put away because sometimes if I lay in bed someone eventually puts away the dishes!

    As for punishments I have to clean the all the dishes on the counter, possibly no video games (rarely happens) or even clean the house by myself but, I think those punishments are better than sitting on the stairs and then explaining what I did wrong.
