do you have rules at home? yes or not...  

No, of course we do not have rules like these. We have only rules which civilizated people await from each other.

With four kids rules are needed or things get crazy. One big rule is no TV, video or games without asking first. Bedtime is 9 oclock, even for my oldest boy who is 15. The kids don't have to sleep then, they can read quietly in bed for a while, but I need an hour or so before bed to myself.

We don't have a rule. A rule will sound so strict. Our schedule can be very flexable. As to my son, I think we will have a little bit fixed schedule for him. Such as we will wake him up at about 7:30am and then he will go to bed at about 9pm. Sometimes the time can be changed according to the situation.

yes, we do have a sort of house rules, especially in terms of curfew time....we have to home at 10 in the evening, when it is dinner time everybody should be at home to have dinner all together, no t.v. during school days....

We have some rules for my son:
1. get up at 6:20a.m.
2. do morning reading at 6:30a.m.
3. have breakfast at 7:20a.m
4. go to school at 7:50a.m.
5. come back to school before 12:10a.m
6. have lunch at 12:20a.m.
7. have a nap at 13:00p.m.
8. go to school at 13:50p.m.
9. come back home before 18:10 when class is over.
10. have dinner at 18:20p.m.
11. have evening study at 19:00 till 21:30p.m.
12. take a shower at 21:30p.m.
13. read outside-class books and newspapers at 21:50 till
22:30p.m. then go to bed.

Hey. Yes we do have a set of rules in our home, for our children and so far, they respect these rules... Like yours, our children are 11 & 14 years old and growing, they know they have to be home before a certaint time, they also know that their playtime comes after assignments/homework and chores... Sleep time for them is 9:00-9:30 and wake up is 7:00am, every morning accept sundays...

The rules have laxed since all the kids are now gone. But when the house was full we did have rules and strict ones too. The kids were responsible for feeding and watering the animals before they ate. Then they would come in wash up and eat breakfast and get ready for school. After shool they would do homework immediately upon coming home. After that they could play for awhile. After than feed and water again. Get ready for supper. After supper they could play some more if there was any daylight left.
Of course it would go without saying they were always responsible to pick up there rooms of direty clothes and the like and each weekend a thorough cleaning of the room before the fun starts.

Before when my sons are younger and in the elementary school, we have certain rules for them to follow, like doing school assignments first before playing game, watching tv or computer. However, now that they become a bit older, we don't have rules for them to follow. They move and do what they like. But I do ask them if they already had finished their homeworks when I see them on the computer. I am not so strict on them now.

Yes there are rules in my house- not like that though- My daughter gets up on school days- not a rule she just does- She has a bed time on school nights- She can sleep in on weekends if she wants to- We stay up late in the summer- playing out side. Be respectful- Homework first before tv or computer- or practices- Chores also- Be good!

yes we have rules at home. infact it is good that we should have rules in home becoz we will be punctual and have good habbits . but the rules should not go beyond the limits. when i was in school my father used to keep rules like i should
play between evening 5pm to 6pm and then i should study upto 9 pm and i should go to bed at 9.30
