If your Partner
Made the house rules with skids-what would your house look like.
I did not want to hijack another poster-but the question intrigued me.
If Dh ran the house on Zip's behalf-Zip would be the happiest teen on the planet because there would be:
Zero Accountability
(because Endora would not have taught Dh Zip is not an infant at 14 when we got him anymore!)
No Bedtime
(Kids re able to regulate their own body clocks you know)
Eat whatever Zip wants whenever Zip wants-using baby cutlery (I kid you not) when we first got Zip -Zip used "baby cutlery" as it was "easier"
Eat on whatever surface Zip wants-with his knees around his ears (I kid you not again)-kid was 13 5'10" and would put his feet on dining room chairs so that his knees were meeting each side of his head and eat that way-I WAS MORTIFIED-even more so because he was not corrected-DH thought it was "cute"
Follow adults around and NEVER leave their sides until bedtime.
(Because Endora had to teach DH about "adult" time-and Endora did not want to worship at the "Zippy" alter 24/7)
Zip could game loudly 24/7 in any part of the house so that no one else could watch a program or do something peacefully.
"Sleepovers' would be 24/7 without adult permission-we used to be "INFORMED" of any impending sleepovers (don't want to cramp the old social skills do we?)
Zip would be made favourite meals, and served them with his meat cut for him-if that were not good enough- PIZZA IS ON THE WAY!
(Zip cooks mostly for himself now (due to his work schedule) and LOVES it-he eats Endora's home cooked meals when he is home)
Last but not least:
We never "TELL" Zippy what to do-we ASK Zippy politely and make sure Zippy "WANTS" to do whatever-if we treat Zippy with adult respect and Zip can make his OWN decisions because at 17 his "adult brain cortex" can predict the outcome of all Zip's choices-and of course we let "NATURAL" consequences be the discipline... :sick:
I look at the past and shake my head-If Zip lives past 20 it will be a miracle with his BP's.

if bf ruled the roost
sd11 would be able to eat whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. this includes fast food for 3-4 meals a day, snacks and dessert included.
sd11 would be able to stay up as late as she wants, then retire to daddy's bed.
sd11 would be able to go anywhere she wanted.
sd11 would be able to get a toy everytime they went to the store.
sd11 would have friends over all the time, never clean, shower, or do homework.
sd11 would tell dh what to do and how it is, because its easier to give in and let the skids rule the roost.
sd11 would wear her hooker shorts to school, along with makeup and the fuck-me-pumps she stole from my closet when she came home from texas.
she would be logged into myspace, facebook, myyearbook all day long. not without the tv on and the radio on in her room of course.
sd11 would be able to manipulate everyone in her path and dh would enforce it. cause again, its easier to give in.
sd11 would convinvce daddy to buy her all the cool 'as seen on tv' gadgets for kids. "you dont need money daddy, just a credit card!"
sd11 would be going to that teen club she had gone to with bm when she was 7-8 yrs old.
sd11 would be able to have boys in her room, door closed, as long as the door is unlocked.
honestly, sd11 would have been knocked up by now. or arrested. or both. hell he joked about being a grandpa before age 40. how sick is that?
hmmmm I had to give this one a think
The rules would be completely different for my child and his child. His son is still a toddler you know! (7.5yrs old).
.1. His son would have the tv on 24/7 and sit on his little plump ass watching it and eating cookies all daym
.1. My son would have restricted xbox time with homework and cleaning on the menu (this is actually my rule which DH agrees with but NOT when it pertains to his little pookie pants)
.2. His son would only be required to clean up his mess on Sunday afternoons, letting it sit and fester all week.
.2. My son is required to clean up after himself after every activity.
.3. His son would not be required to do his homework if he didn't feel like it.
.3. My son is required to do his homework promptly after dinner.
.4. His son is not required to do any physical activity, or spend any time in the great outdoors.
.4. My son has to get out of the house and be active to stay healthym
.5. His son can piss all over the place and not be required to clean it up.
.5. My son might have a dribble on the toilet seat and is required to promptly get a clorox wipe to rectify the situation.
My DH thinks its ok to have these rules in conjunction with one another as his son is just a toddler afterall, whereas mine is a preteen. I keep telling him that we have a toddler that is 1 years old, and that toddler life is generally over with at 3 years old not 8 years old, but I'm wrong of course. I actually feel sorry for my SS. He's going to grow up and have no clue about anything. His parents are already having issues with him! Let's just see what happens when he's a preteen!
