Drieske's house rules

Finally my patience was devoured by all these little stupid tiny unimportant incidents, but the combination of it irritates the hell out of me. Hence I wrote a mail to my sons. Yes a mail. Both are gone today, one to work, one to his dad. I made a list with house rules to make our lives easier and less stressful.

What? You want an example? Well let me name some:
  • shoes: when you come in, leave them in the hallway, and not where ever your feet land;
  • school bags: take them up with you to your room where you should be studying, and not drop it on your way to the fridge;
  • laundry: guess what: there are three baskets in the attic that were made especially for that use... how convenient;
  • dishes: put them in the dish washer and not in your bedroom, or on the living room table: they'll never get clean over there;
  • PC/notebook: using it for school work is excellent, to game great... but not this often. Take a board game downstairs and let's play!
Enough examples? Just tell me, I thought of more. Well they haven't reacted yet, so let's see what they have to say about all of this when they come home later on.
