| 1. If you smoke do it outside - do NOT throw the cigarette butts in my yard unless you want to be out there picking every single one of them up 2. No dirty talk in front of my kids 3. Do NOT come into our home and insult one of our furkids - I actually threw one of DH's cousins out of the house for this 4. This is not a restaraunt. If you don't like what's for dinner feel free to do without - this rule doesn't apply to Susanah lol

The reason I set this rule is because: 1) Riley is so small, it probably won't hurt him as much if someone steps on him without shoes. 2) To keep my apt clean. Some other rules I have are: 1) No smoking 2) No using my laptop 3) Don't feed or pick up Riley And last but not least since I'm 21 and have young party friends 4) No sex in my apt. Lol. I guess I'm alittle picky about my apt. Lol. But its my first VERY OWN apartment!! | |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | My rule that my bf ALWAYS forgets is when you take your shoes off put them in my closet or to the side. He always leaves them in the middle of the floor

| My rules are pretty much the same as everyone elses! #1 NO SMOKING, I don't, my family doesnt and my kids get more than enough 2nd hand smoke. #2 Remove shoes. This is pretty easy for me, and something I recently started doing since living in Japan, and quite honestly, it makes soooo much sense! #3 If a door is shut in my house, it is shut FOR A REASON! *this is usually to hide all of the mess I threw in there before company comes over* haha but still, it means you dont belong in there!

| We had a house that was about 80% carpeted with almost white white carpet (my biggest mistake).....we didn't want to put up a sign for people to take their shoes off, be we NEVER had shoes on in the house and pretty much everyone just automatically took their shoes off at the door. All the people like utility/tech workers who came in are pretty well trained in this area to use booties when they enter a home so they usually bring their own. My suggestion to you is to go to a home improvement store and buy a big box of the booties. If people refuse to take their shoes off (some people are really funny about it...maybe they have dirty feet, or holes in their socks, I don't know), hand them a pair of booties. I would have NO problem telling someone who ignored that to leave. I don't tolerate disrespect in my own home for anyone or any reason. Quote:

| I went to a class once and we were all asked to take off our shoes because we were walking on some exercise mats. No one knew before hand. This one guy had so many holes in his socks I could not believe it. It was like more hole than sock. Anyway, everyone laughed when someone yelled out, "look, Joe decided to wear his good socks today" He was so embarrassed. I thought oh he is a young bachelor, but then someone told me he was married. I could not believe his wife didnt throw those socks away. I think the booties are a good idea for someone who might not be prepared, or maybe has a foot odor problem.

| Smoking is aloud outside, and use the ashtray. Nobody touches my computer. The dogs have more clout then visitors. Pick up your mess. I have 3 kids counting my hubby who drop everything all over..

I am more like my mom every day! Close the cabinets if you open them, and for goodness sake don't leave toothpaste spit in the sink! Wash it out. Also no smoking inside. I dont take my shoes off at home all the time and I dont mind if others do or not, but I certinly do at others homes! Last but not least, be nice to my dog. If you are not then make sure your health and life insurance are paid and up to date cause you may need to cash in! JK! | |

| I am a big fan of rules (especially since I babysit full time) 1. No smoking in my home 2. No running or playing in the dining room or living room (the kids have full run of the kitchen, family room and full finished basement) 3. Must use your inside voice (had to establish that one because my son is SO loud) 4. Pick up after yourself or I will put it in the garbage (dont care what it is - I will throw it out! my kids hate that rule) 5. Wipe the toothpaste out of the sink when you are done brushing your teeth (that drives my crazy) 6. My hubby's only rule is that you shut the lights off if you are not going to be in that room anymore!

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | We really don't have any big rules...just lots of little ones!! 1. Always make sure you shut the garage door, we don't want any little ones running out 2. Don't tease the dogs...you wouldn't like it if they teased you 3. If you sit on the furniture, you will have puppies in your lap...so beware before you sit 4. Don't take any toys out of the dogs mouths, if they bring it to you and drop it than you can play but PLEASE don't just take it out of their mouths...they don't like it!! 5. No puppies in the bedrooms unless you are watching them closely...they will try to mark the bedrooms 6. Don't give the puppies treats unless you have asked We don't have any little kids so all of our rules are centered around the puppies...so if you don't like dogs and you want to see me, you are just going to have to suck it and deal with it!! LOL
