I don't let them look at photos of MuscleUp in his speedo. The only time they saw them, my kids wanted to mail him sympathy cards, and some weight gain powder.

You're funny and sane, sort of. At least you're not doing whack jobs on others like some people.

I have a teenager & at least 2 teenagers that aren't mine but seem to be here all the time.
My rules are:
#1 you break my house, I break you & your parents have to pay for it. #2 the louder you play the music, the louder my music will get. You will NOT win this battle, I have 4 giant 1970's style speakers...I win. #3 Don't slam doors....just drives me nuts #4 Hubby is God...God sleeps during the day. If you wake up God, I'm not saving your ass. #5 No contact/tackle football in the house #6 No golf in the house. #7 In general, don't be stupid & don't make me be a bitch about you being stupid.

No running in the house. No food in the bedrooms. No jumping on the furniture. No physical fighting. If you make a mess, clean it up. Don't do anything that could put holes in the walls or break a window or a bone. Stay out of my bedroom and my bathroom, they had their own personal spaces, I needed one too.
I purposefully kept my den (the most used room in the house) kid friendly. I was anxious to get rid of the wood paneling in the den when I first bought the house, but my Aunt thought the paneling might not be a bad idea with kids. I decided she had a good point and didn't paint over it for 11 years. I bought leather furniture that stood up well to over a decade of constant use and abuse by my 2 kids, a lot of other kids and 2 large dogs. I bought a carpet cleaner for the carpet so I didn't fret over every spill or stain. I didn't fill the room up with things that could get easily knocked over or broken.

We are pretty strict. Food in the kitchen. Art supplies at the kitchen table. Scooters outside. Ball playing outside. Hands off the walls unless you want to wash them. No shoes in the house. M

I couldn't take the chance - I don't drink very often, so I was discarding it. DD had to film me pour it out so her friend who owned it would know she didn't steal it. I put a doorknob that I could lock with a key on one of my linen closets. That worked really well for keeping teenagers out of my liquor when I wasn't home.
I confiscated a few bottles in my day. I got in the habit of rifling through cars the next morning before the kiddos woke up.
The teenagers didn't need the trouble that a bottle of liquor in the car brings, and it turns out I like coconut rum! The kids didn't get in trouble and I get to try new things, win - win.

no toy golf clubs in the living room no running with my Kindle or scissors no tackling your sister! no writing in books!no eating in the bedrooms We don't do a lot of playdoh or painting but we've got about 50,000 crayons and markers (not to mention coloring books and paper for the kids) My husband kept saying that and saying that and then I pointed it out that there ARE books where you suppose to write and color and it's hard to explain the difference to a 2.5 or a 3 yr old. Yeah, we took a trip to the dollar store and came home with a huge stack of coloring books. They got a special place away from the "reading" books. The rule is "We only color in coloring books!" There have been a few accidents but thankfully nothing too bad.
