My parents set the rules in my house and me and my sister barely have a say, which I find very frustrating. When I don't follow the rules, which is pretty often, my parents get really mad at me and usually take away my phone/computer (any source of technology I have, even my google home). To be honest it’s usually me that’s the one that gets into trouble, not my sister and my parents have pretty much given up on taking away my privileges. I’ve started having more of a say in the rules being set though, but still not a lot. I think the kids should have a say in the rules because if they don’t find them fair they’re not going to follow them.
ReplyDeleteMy parents do the same for me too, they just get mad and take away any technological devices I use! And I totally agree kids should have a say for the rules too.
DeleteI definitely agree with the fact that it can be very annoying that you and your sister don’t get any say in the rules, also, I can relate to you when you say that it’s mostly you that gets in trouble.
DeleteSame situation for me, parents set all rules.I have gotten a bit more freedom in making my own decisions too and having more say in things.But for sure agree on how they're should be more of a compromise with making house rules!
DeleteMy parents set the rules in my house, and if we don’t follow the rules, we usually get a consequence, like no more electronic devices, such as phones, TV, video games, iPads, computers, etc., but luckily I don’t really get into trouble that much ( not as much as my brother and sister ), that I would get a consequence for not listening to the rules. I still do sometimes though. I have broken a house rule, by obviously passing a time-limit watching/playing on electronics. Or by going to bed too late, later than bedtime hours. But I usually go to bed early now for some reason, but for my siblings, they always go to bed later than they are supposed to be going to bed at. So my parents usually say as a consequence, like “no more dessert or snacks” and stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteI also get in trouble for staying up too late and my parents take my electronics.
DeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog, it was very relatable. The same goes for me if we don't follow the rules my parents take away my electronics.
DeleteMy parents are the ones who set the rules in my house, but usually, they ask if they think it would be fair and why/why it wouldn't be fair if that were implemented. They (usually) "take into consideration" what I have to say but most of the time they will do it anyway. I think that the rules are pretty normal, don't stay up till 3 in the morning on your phone, be at least in your room at like 10, that kinda thing. The consequences are usually taking away my ps4 and Xbox remotes, taking away my phone, so basically, taking away my way of communication with anyone in the outside world.
ReplyDeleteYeah, My mom does yell at me sometimes too if I'm not lying in bed by 10 or if I stay up too late, I think that that is a pretty common rule since most people I know have that rule too.
DeleteMy parents do almost the exact same thing! This actually reminds me of a time where I was staying up late with my phone, and I accidentally fell asleep with my phone in my hands. By the time I woke up, my parents had taken away all my electronics for a week! XD

ReplyDeleteMy parents are the ones who set the rules at our house given they are the adults. If my sister and I don't follow the rules we usually get our electronics or other things that we liked taken away from us. My parents usually say that we shouldn't do it again. I have broken some house rules such as lying/when I was in grade two or even arguing with my sister.
I have barely any rules at my house. apart from the occasional chores and having to with my brother and sister every now and then, my mom doesn't care what I do. I do have to do my homework first before I do anything though, which makes sense. One of the things I don't like though is that if one of us does something wrong, we all get punished, for example, if my sister is bugging my brother and gets her phone taken away, mine gets taken too, or if my brother hits my sister, I have to go out of my way to entertain him until he gets his Ipad back
ReplyDeleteI also get punished when just one of my siblings do something wrong like say I'm ready to go to school but my brother isn't.

ReplyDeleteMy mom and dad set the rules in my house, but mostly my mom. If I don’t follow the rules in my house I can get my phone taken away, going to bed earlier and sometimes not being able to do all my plans I had for the day, or the next. Yes I have broken house rules such as not being home at my curfew, staying up too late, not being polite to my family and not doing what was asked of me like doing dishes or cleaning my room.
ReplyDeleteRelatable, my moms the same way. If I break a rule it usually results in her taking away my phone or forcing me to cancel my plans with friends. It's happen to me a few times but I've never really learned from my mistakes so I don't really know why she still does it.
Deletewhen i don't clean my room on time i'm not aloud to watch tv until i finish cleaning
Deletei can relate i get my phone taken away a lot
DeleteIn my house, my parents set the rules and my sister and I have absolutely no say in the rules that they make. The consequences to breaking a rule depends on what rule I break. Example, if I yell at my parents they might take my phone away, if I do something really bad, they’ll ground me, etc. I have broken a few house rules and my parents usually get really mad at me, and then they yell at me which makes me really upset because let's be honest, no kid wants to get yelled at.
ReplyDeleteMy parents will also take away my devices if I break a rule but I've never been grounded. What's that like? Great Job!
DeleteLike most people, my parents are the ones who set the rules in my house. My mom usually says "You live rent free my house, which means what I say goes." Between my brother and I, he seems to break the rules more frequently, but the punishment depends on what rule was broken. It usually ends up with us being sent to our room or almost every parents personal favourite: taking away my electronics. Since I was a child, I definitely hold the title for the most stubborn in my family which means I won't be so quick to accept my punishment like my brother but instead I'll antagonize and challenge my mom to see how far I can push her. I've had my fair share of lectures so I'll usually just act as if I don't care about what punishment she'll give me to see how mad I can get her. I know its kind of cruel that I find it funny antagonizing my mom when she's already mad at me but I never said I was one to go down without having the last word. I have broken some house rules but ntohing to serious just things like staying up past curfew, not doing my chores, etc.
ReplyDeleteMy mom knows I care a lot about my phone so usually when I get in trouble she takes it away like most parents and yeah I may be mad about it but I guess it'sa fair and effective punishment.
DeleteSame here. I literally do the same thing to my mom. I think parents are really getting the thrill out of punishing us especially when it comes to taking away our electronics. Great job!
DeleteMy mom makes most of the rules, my dad reinforces them. The consequences are quite heavy, that's why I try to not break the rules. I have broken the rules quite a few times already like going to my friend's house without permission. If I don't follow the house rules, the punishment is decided by my dad since my mom is scary. I usually get yelled at A LOT and i get used to it, but sometimes yelling isn't the way to educate your kids, you should punish them not yell. But at the same time, my mom can't really punish me by taking my phone away because it's my alarm for the morning.
ReplyDeleteI can relate my mom mostly sets the rules while my dad inforces them and with the yelling I understand I kinda got used to it but only if I did something very bad, a lot of relatable things great comment.
DeleteIn my house its mostly my Mom that sets the rules my dad kinda just stands in the back with a serious face on trying to make us laugh. Besides that the rules in my house a pretty basic the only thing that I wouldnt expect in another household to contain is our chore list. As soon as we got a puppy my mom thought we were gonna forget doing our chores so diffrent days mean diffrent chores if we dont do our chores its not like were getting punished its simply just a little upset look that we all hate to see on my mom's face. As for breaking rules we dont have many of them so its kinda hard to break them. The only rule that I can really think of is since were in the trainnig process with our puppy we cant do certain things like get her overly exited because shes in her puppy bitting faze so she would usually resort into bitting our shoes and pillows... As for rules in my house there aren't many established ones just more like commen sence that we all kinda picked up on.

ReplyDeleteIn my house my dad mostly sets the rules and my mom agrees with his decisions and rules that he puts down.He also makes our decisions happen by buying them or making sure we have the things we need for our everyday lives.He likes things running under his ways and his plans but he's flexible if me or the rest of my family rather do something else.There are sometimes consequences if me or my brother consistently break the rules or go against something.I've definitely broken a house rule because I like to do things my way and be independent sometimes.
It is usually my mom who sets the rules in the house. Now you may be thinking "but ateeb what about your dad?" Well my dad is usually working, and by the time he gets home, he is too tired to enforce any rules. There are punishments if I break the rules, some including my electronics being taken away or me having to cancel plans with my friends. Of course I've broken the rules, we all have at one point.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to this because if I end up breaking any rules, the same thing will happen to me. My dad also works a lot so he gets too tired to set any rules in the house, but at least that's just a few less rules to follow in the house.
DeleteI really find like thats an interesting atmosphere Ateeb, that I have never felt since I could say both of my parents take up major spots in my home.
DeleteAt my house, my mom is the one who sets the rules. The consequences for breaking a house rule are usually getting specific things taken away like my phone or computer. Sometimes it might also be where I need to go to bed earlier, but it's never really anything that bad. I have broken rules before, but breaking a rule is something that happens to everyone at least once.
ReplyDeleteThat's what it's like for me. My phone usually gets taken away, but not my computer. And I do agree that breaking a rule does happen to everyone at least once. Great blog!
DeleteIn my house my mom sets the rules. She is the boss and she knows it and she loves to take control. She very strict with everything so I have to watch every word that comes out of my mouth around her, other wise its the end of me. My dad is much more chill and he doesn't really have lots of rules excepts hes strict when it comes to school but other than that he doesn't really say anything. The only thing is he takes my moms side every time, if we are in an argument, he will take her side even though sometimes my mom doesn't take my dads side. I feel bad for my dad haha hes too soft. If I choose not to follow the rules, my mom isn't big with punishments, she says shes going to ground me for a month and it only ends up being a day or two maybe even a week but she never follows through. My dad likes to give ideas though, he likes punishing better than teaching, my mom is all about teaching so you can see the difference. I have broken the rules many, many times and my brother not so much. My mom is so nice to my little brother even when hes in trouble and my mom expects the world from me, but my brother doesn't get an easy life from me, thats my i'm happy i'm the oldest. Ok thanks for reading:)
ReplyDeleteMy mom normally sets the rules and my step-dad normally follows along. They are both really strict and if either me or sister do anything wrong we will get punished. Types of punishments/consequences that I will be given if I don’t follow the rules are that I will get my electronics taken away, I won't be able to invite my friends over, I will get yelled at, etc. I have broken a few rules for instance disrespecting my mom or lying to her about something. When I did that I got my electronics taken away for a month and I had to write my mom an apology letter that she still has. I hate writing the letters but while I’m writing them it makes me reflect on what I’ve done so I think that it’s a great punishment.
ReplyDeleteMy house is sort of the same way. My parents give the same punishments because they know that my phone means a lot to me. Very goo blog!!
DeleteMy parents definitely make the rules in my house. My brother and I don’t get to say anything about it. If we don’t listen to their rules, first we get yelled at. Second, we get a punishment which consists of no phone/Ps4, my dad sometimes shuts off the wifi, etc. I have definitely broken some house rules before, but my parents have started taking it easier on me because they know I understand when I do something wrong.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to when you said that you and your brother don't get to have a say in how your rules are made, and how that your dad sometimes turns off your wifi (my dad does that too).
DeleteCurrently the person who sets the rules my house is my father and the guards are my three dogs Stewie, Zoey and Maggie. If you were to disobey the rules in my house like not walking the dogs for thirty minutes to an hour and not mowing the front and backyard, the punishment's could be loss of electronics, not being able to go to a event and no TV. Well often when I was younger I would break the rules like I draw on the wall of my house my when my parents were asleep.
ReplyDeleteMy mum is in charge of my house. My mum is really nice so she is fair and she doesn’t make me and my brother do tons of chores. My brother and I are not bad children so we don’t get in trouble that much, but when we do something bad she just tells us what we did wrong and she is really fair about it. Once I was playing hide and seek with my brother when I accidentally stepped on the wire that was attached to the lamp and it fell. My mum just made me clean it up and then she told me that I had to be more careful.
ReplyDeleteThe people who make the rules in my house are my grandmother and mum. Their rules are pretty fair, but if I want my phone when I'm done my homework I need to follow them. If I break the rules in my house, I will have my phone will taken away. That's about it. I will do my homework and once I'm done all of it then, and only then , I will get my phone back. Like I said, the rules in my house are fair and I don't mind them.
ReplyDeleteSame with me, the rules in my house are really easy to follow and are fair. Great job!
DeleteCurrently, the people/person that makes the rules in my house is my dad. Now like any normal rule there usually is a consequence that follows behind. When I choose to not follow the rules (which I tend to do a lot), the punishments are sometimes like, being sent to my room, getting my phone taken away, and or having to cancel a plan/event that I had been looking forward to go too, etc. I have broken many rules but one I can clearly remember was when one of my chores was to clean the bathrooms and I really didn't want to do it. I got in a lot of trouble for not doing it, I got my phone taken away and I had to clean them immediately.
ReplyDeleteMy parents are the ones that make all the rules and only i have that many besides my phone has to go off at 11 and my curfew is 9:30 and some more like normal rules. But like randomly they decide to be like striked and if i say one thing wrong i get my phone taken away and stuff like that. Yes I have broken the rules many times. Most of the time my parents don't know that i am but i have been home passed my curfew and been on my phone too late and almost every time it resorts to me getting my phone taken away because they know that it is my prise possession.
ReplyDeleteI have the same rules, my parents also close my phone at 9:30 and it opens in the morning. And I agree it's really frustrating when they randomly take away my phone.
DeleteMy parents set the rules in our house. I don't have any power over that. There not super strict like don't break anything, don't start a fire and stuff like that. If I don't follow one of those rules, the punishment can vary. If I break something like a glass cup (which I did one) by accident, I wont be punished severely. If I like break the tv or something on purpose, I would be grounded and locked in my room for a month. One time I broke a cup and I told my parents what happened. They just told me that I should be more careful when putting the dishes away. I'm glad the punishments aren't too bad!
ReplyDeleteUsually its my parents in my house that makes the rules. And I assume they do because its "their" house kinda like how a king or queen makes the rules for "their" kingdom. When I was smaller my parents would usually not punish me unless I broke something a few times. Of course that was only if it was reasonable. As a kid and still now I love my computer and the punishment would usually be the weekend without video games or 2, 3 but as I got older I started breaking the rules less often but when some were broken I would usually not be punished. But my parents know that if I have broken it many times maybe then its time to give me a punishment. Our rules were normal society stuff like: don't start a fire and stuff and don't abuse my phone, example: staying up super late on a school night watching a movie on my phone.

ReplyDeleteIn my house it’s my mom who sets the rules. My parents aren’t super strict but we do have some of the regular rules like if my mom or dad tells us to do something then we do it and if we don’t we get grounded. The rules my parents have are really easy to follow so I’ve only been grounded once or twice. They give us little chores like cleaning our room, walking the dog, unloading the dishwasher, etc. My brother on the other hand gets grounded all the time because he either doesn’t do his chores and when he does he breaks something or doesn’t really try and do it properly. My parents are very flexible and give me a lot of freedom like going to my friends houses after school, staying up late, etc. Although I have a lot of freedom I also have the responsibility where I have to take care of myself and if I make a mistake or if I’m not organized I have to be responsible and fix it myself.
