We Couldn't open more than one box of Cereal at a time. I thought that rule was pure B. S. and now I have about 4 to 5 boxes open my Step-mother would go nuts.
When I go home for the holidays she tries to enforce it and I respond with "I don't live here" ha ha
Tell me what I've won a mean stare from mom, and respect from my loyal younger brothers and sisters. Oh Yeah

LOL I loove this question....
1. Make the bed..(why? you're just getting back in)
2. No snacks before dinner(what if my kids are hungry and dinner isnt for an hour? I just make sure it's a healthy one..maybe more kids wouldnt be so fat if they listened to the cues their bodies give them..eat when hungry, stop when you arent anymore)
3.Pop only on the weekends (why? just make sure they dont overdue it..I think i'm such a pop addict because I couldnt have it when I wanted..)
4.Clean your plate..(again....FAT KIDS)
5.Cold pizza isnt a breakfast food(pppfffttt says who? who cares if its 7 am or pm? )

Cleaning everything on my plate.
It obviously dates from war-time, when food was short and couldn't be wasted, but I have a tendency to put on weight and have had to learn that I'd probably pay real money to a health farm to remove the extra weight represented by that offending piece of pudding or whatever.

I guess it wasn't a rule persay.....My parents didn't say "I'm sorry" - ever!!!! Even when they did something wrong - acknowledging their faults was not done. even between my sister and I it was not enforced. As a parent, I make sure that my children know that when they are wrong - they need to make things right - as soon as possible. My husband & I do the same with eachother and with the kids.

My mom made us keep our cats outside. Balderdash. My cat sleeps with me. Oh oh and she wouldn't let us get pizza delivered to the house (in case the delivery guy was like, you know an axe murderer) As if I've ever picked up a pizza from the parlor since I moved out.

Before I answer your question, I would like to make a comment about your answer to your mom, "I don't live here" ha ha , that is having disrespect for her, shame on you.
Now for your answer: Well when we were growing up, taking a bath or shower was something crazy. We had to turn the water on long enough to get wet, turn it off, soap down and wash all over, turn the water on long enough to rinse off, turn water back off.
Now I get in a let the water run until I am done all the way. I am in the shower and out in 5 minutes anyway. But with their way of doing it, it took me longer to take my shower.
I am back home again to help take care of them, if she could, she would check how much water I use now. They are on well water at that. She reminds me every day how they take their shower. Most of the time they don't even let the water get warm trying to save water.

The major rule in our house currently is DON'T LEAVE ANY GARBAGE OUT IN THE YARD.
I agree with that. The rule I am lax on is "No driving if your school isn't done." Can't wait to break that rule, ha, ha, I have to drive to classes, ha.

Making my bed everyday.
I hated that, I always complained that the President of the U.S. is never going to come to my house to see if I made my bed everyday. Nowadays I only make my bed when I know I have company coming over & they will see our bedroom or if I get into super cleaning mode. I only make my kids make their beds when we have guests over, or they have friends stay the night.
