Do you have any weird rules in your household?

[Sofasmurfing]

Mine is: nothing is allowed to be stored in the loft. Nothing. Not even Christmas decorations or suitcases.

I get the feeling that if just one thing is allowed to live in the attic, then all sorts of crap will be ‘stored’ there until we die.

Personally I don’t think it’s odd at all, but my DH thinks it’s utterly bananas.

Anyone else?

Only one load of laundry can be in progress at one time. The previous load must be completely dry and put away before a new one can be started.

No new storage. If something doesn’t fit into the storage we already have then you need to get rid of something else.

Not this again! 😂

I feel like this should be printed on naff wall art as a life affirmation.

I might get it on a t shirt

don’t poo in the ensuite!

Just the usual towel one which i think most people use,

White for hands, brown for feet, green for torso, thighs and seat, and in the cupboard beneath the stair, you'll find the red for pubic hair.

Our dog loves standing on the landing and sticking her head through the horizontal banister to have an eye-level fuss with anyone going downstairs. DS once commented that it made her look like a newsreader behind a desk. It is therefore the law that whenever she does this, everyone on the stairs has to exclaim 'Daisy's on telly!' with enormous delight and give her a huge fuss. She actually looks offended now if you do the fuss but not the announcement. Her particular favourite is if there's a towel drying over the banister - she will appear through the gap at one end and then the other to get two fusses.

I dont allow alcohol in my home , nobody can come in who has consumed it either. Having grown up with an alcoholic mother i dont have my kids around it at all. Theyve never been to a bar or pub and ill never take them to one either.

Took me a sec 😂

The last person that breast fed a baby in my house was me more than 3 decades ago. And no i never once fed at the table. Only once did i feed at a cafe table and that was because they only had one toilet.

Love "All feelings are allowed, all behaviours are not."

Spiders or paramedics in the room. There is no other justifiable reason. ever.

No clutter very minimalist.
Thankfully i live alone.

One of my collegues not only slurps his tea, but also (loudly) swills it around his mouth before swallowing. How I haven't murdered him and hidden the body yet is a mystery....

Same situation here - we work in music biz so it’s on an awful lot and not always stuff remotely to my taste -

Oh they'll definitely go.

Shoes off and hands washed as soon as you enter the house. Do not ever touch my mug, don't even wash it, in fact do not even look at it. Leave anything of yours lying around and it will cost you cash to get it back.

@FatMrsHoot - LOVE THIS!! When DD was younger we lived in the Middle East. At the time she was being bullied at school. I used to pick her up, drive into the desert, and say, "Let it all out" She would stand in the sand and scream and scream, and then get in the car, and we would drive home and make dinner. Very therapeutic! Many years after that I had a horrendous line manager who made my life an utter misery. I arrived at school pick up and DD could see I had been crying, so she said, "Let's go to the desert, Mum." I stood in the hot sand and screamed, "I hate you, Michelle!!" at the top of my voice, and felt much, much better afterwards. It's a great way of getting big feelings out so they lose their power!

Oh I know and when they are older thats fine but while they are children my home will be alcohol free.

Aarghhhh! I can't even cope with slurping in a TV programme.

I’m in the car and heart RADIO have this very same discussion this morning and I have heard a few of the post being
Mentioned

Me too

My sister moved house when my nieces were 3 and 6. After weeks of being told not to touch paintwork, they were paranoid about it for months after they moved in!

For a while, we lived in an old cottage, with a long, L shaped landing. There was a floor-to-ceiling cupboard that ran the length of it. I LOVED it! So easy to get stuff out.

I live alone, and I bought a mini one to prune the shrubs in my garden.
