Thought I would share our " House Rules". The kids and I sat down together and created these rules after the ex left and they are posted on the fridge..

1. No flashing the babysitter
2. If you backwash in your drink DON'T offer it to someone else
3. No feet in the popcorn
4. No "potty talk"
5. No mean words to each other
6. ALWAYS keep a pinky promise
7. Brush your teeth
8. Use your manners
9. Help take care of domino
10. Pick up your mess
11. Don't go out and play when it's dark
12. No "sassy talk'
13. MOM IS THE BOSS!!!!!

Think we covered all of the bases???

The fun ones? Oh you mean the brush your teeth and use your manners, stuff like that right? I think #13 should be #1. Maybe you should add the rules 1. Mom is always right 2. If Mom is wrong, see rule #1.
