Share your wackiest rules

post #1 of 235
Thread Starter 
Hi there mamas,

My 3-yr old son had his best pal over the other day and they were playing on the porch/backyard. I figured, perfect place for those goofy rowdy boys--there aren't any rules out there except staying within the gate! Within an hour I realized we do have rules there:

No pouring a bucket of water on the cat
No painting the dining room window with mud
No wacking the porch furniture with beams

:LOL

Have you found yourself spouting any rules you never quite expected were necessary? I thought it might be fun to share'em!

I can't think of any weird rules we have.... I'm sure they exist, but nothing's coming to mind right now.

My neighbor has a "no whistling" rule in her house. The sound of someone whistling is like nails on a chalkboard to her. My son plays with her daughter, and both of my kids are big whistlers... so when my son is over there he gets lots of "reminders." :LOL

Don't lick the dog
Don't drink from the dog dish

(My 7yo step-daughter likes to pretend to be a dog. Sometimes she takes it too far.)

I am one with the no whistling rule. I have fibromyalgia. One problem with it is, I have a sensetivity to lots of light, sound & touch. So I like it darker & not so noisy. Otherwise it is like messing up the wires in my brain & I go crazy. Twice as bad if I have a migraine.

OMG... I have actually said "Wipe your snot on you OWN shirt!" My best buddy here and I laugh about this all the time, but I am drawing a blank right now. I will try to remember some and post again.

Mine are backyard rules.....

No building a ramp to help the dogs jump over the wall onto the street.

No greasing the propane tank. (dogs stand on tank to try and jump over wall to get out of yard, kids think it's funny to grease it up so the dogs fall off).


Inside rules...
Please pick your own nose, not your friends.
If you sneeze in your hands go wash them, don't wipe them on my new sofa.

*No sitting on the kitchen table without underwear.
(My friends think I am crazy: does that mean he is allowed to sit there WITH his clothes on??? :LOL )

*Do not throw cars from the second floor and down to the first floor.
(It hurts when the cars hits mamas head... )

*Do not let Barbie take a bath in the toilet.

*No farting on mommy! :

Don't eat all the kitty treats ~ DS LOVES those crunchy cat treats that come in a little bag and will eat the entire bag if he gets his mitts on them! DH jokes that it gives him shiny hair and clean teeth .

No climbing on Mama's head.

The Powerpuff Girls wooden block race must be cleared from the kitchen floor before suppertime.

The back of the futon is not a balance beam. It's not the uneven bars either.

No hula hooping over your brother's head while he's doing his algebra.

- No peeing or pooping in the bathtub

- Only grown-ups changes diapers

- Keep your boogers to yourself

- Don't lick your sister/brother

- Don't tell the baby Daddy's home when he isn't. It's mean.

- No singing at the table (except for grace)

- The breast pump isn't a toy

- No drumming before 8 AM

- No talking to Daddy while he's preaching

- No pushing old ladies out of the way to get to Daddy after church

- Only Mama gets to give LLL advice (Michael has been known to try to take over meetings and helping calls)

We have a lot of weird rules. Then again. we're sort of a weird family.
