Why So Many Rules? by quadrant4: 8:01am On Jun 21, 2011
Name some rules that exist in your family. …………………………
Do you think family rules are always fair?
□ Yes □ No
Which rule do you find the most difficult to obey? …………………………
HOUSE RULES, as they’re sometimes called, are the dos and don’ts that your parents have set for you. Such rules may include requirements about homework, chores, and curfews, as well as restrictions on your use of the phone, the TV, and the computer. Some rules may extend beyond the walls of your home to include your behavior at school and your choice of friends.
Do you feel hemmed in by these restrictions? Perhaps you can relate to the following youths:
“My curfew used to drive me crazy! I hated it when others were allowed to stay out later than I was.”—Allen.
“It’s horrible having your cell-phone calls monitored. I feel that I’m being treated like a child!”—Elizabeth.
“I felt that my parents were trying to wreck my social life, as though they didn’t want me to have any friends!”—Nicole.
While young people often find themselves on the wrong side of their parents’ rules, most youths acknowledge that some regulations are needed to prevent total chaos. But if house rules are necessary, why are some of them so annoying?

We don't have rules in my house---we all use our common senses and everything works out fine (most of the time).

Seriously though. . .except for trying to restrict the time spent with the opposite sex. . .i had a rules free childhood.  The normal rules. . .i don't consider the normal don't stay out late thing rules.  That's common sense.  The other rules. . .i don't remember because really we (my brothers and I) have always done as we wanted to.

Some of the rules that were drummed into out heads as kids that I certainly do not even follow today are no chewing gun, no saying sh, iii, t , no drinking straight out of a bottle, always use a tumbler, always use a coaster. Useless rules. How does that even help me today
