No peeing on your siblings. Even if you are sharing a bath with them.

Rules for my married kids:
If you don't want your kids to reach it, put it out of the way.
No 'time out' at Bubby's house.

Rules for my living at home kids:
If you don't want your nieces or nephews to touch it, put it out of the way.

No pencils on the floor (we have had some stepping on pencil injuries!)
At least 3/4 corners of the laptop/camera/fragile electronic need to be on the table at any time Smile

My daughter is 16 mo and not very good at following rules (though we do have some already!)

For guests:

we prefer people to take their shoes off when entering, though we don't generally ask unless it's rainy outside.

Don't take food into bedrooms, or anywhere where it's not being served, really

If you use a cup (or anything else) and put it in the sink, please rinse it first (you don't have to wash it, though that would be nice, but rinse it out.)

Diapers - people always ask about it. We have a box with diapers, wipes, and a changing mat in the living room that people are welcome to use. People generally change on the floor (on top of the mat if they want), though theyare welcome to use the den sofa if they feel all will stay clean. Put the diaper in a bag or two and in the trash, or in the diaper pail when it's set up. People always ask what to do first.

Do not give my child candy, or any other food that is not from my house.

Don't take my stuff!! (BIL took our Jurassic Park dvds. All 3!)

If your kid needs help in the bathroom you need to go and help (ewwww).

And another one we learned the hard way: grown up games are only for grown ups (eg bananagrams, trivial pursuit). We lost irreplaceable pieces when a large family came and went through all our games.

Like renting an apartment, I expect to find everything as it was except for normal wear and tear Smile Dirty dishes and a floor that needs to be cleaned a little is fine. Crayon drawn on the walls, anything missing or broken is not okay.

- Taste what's on your plate. Don't eat it if you don't like it, but you HAVE to taste a bite of EVERYTHING. (B'H I think this is why my kids will eat anything)

- No hurting each other (body or feelings)

- Bedtime is between 7 and 7:30. Mommy is not allowed to work after 8:00PM so whatever you need, make sure you ask before then. (my kids are all 7 and under so they all have the same bedtime. I know this will probably be the last year where I can get away with that...)

- No coming to parents room at night unless its an emergency. No getting out of bed until the sun comes out and no coming out of your room until you hear other people awake (this one is not working. In an ideal world though...)

My house is to be lived in....but, if you break it you pay for it. Applies equally to residents and guests.

How exactly do you inform your guests of your rules without making them uncomfortable?
I would only tell them if they ask, "Where do you put dirty diapers?" "Can I give your kids some nosh?"

I'm more concerened about setting up rules for my kids that stick!
Any ideas of how to reinforce the rule "clean up the toys before going to sleep"??? Rolling Eyes
