    Why do some woman feel they can control men?

    Why are some men so hypersensitive and easily offended?

    Because we can. Just like some men feel they can control women.

    My boyfriend isn't allowed to use the en-suite any more.

    OBEY, about sums it up.

    I don't have that many rules though and am easy going generally.

    OBEY still applies though, it's my house, you can't pick your toenails or insult my guests or me or run amok.

    No smoking
    Any programmes on planner unwatched after two weeks get deleted.
    No pausing the tv (or BD player) for more than a minute.
    Don't leave TV on stand by, switch off.

    It's just me and my OH so the only real rule between us is to clean the shower after we use it.

    For guests it's no smoking and take your shoes off in the hall.

    For the cats its no going in the main bedroom.

    I don't control these men.
    I love them, I influence them and I guide them. I also support and protect them.
    They do the same for me.
    We're all very happy.
    And that's why you would not live in my house.

    Nobody tells anybody to stick anything.
    That's just not how we speak to each other.


    Beautifully put.

    No Smoking
    Always put the lid on the loo down (It's to stop the dog from drinking out of there as much as anything)
    If you poo, spray air freshener after (with only 1 bathroom its only fair to leave it as decent as possible)

    No smoking, and remove shoes at the door
    Leave the loo spotless after using
    Turn lights off when not in use
    Throw covers back to air bed when you finally get up
    Tidy up any mess - don't leave it for someone else.

    No one should control anyone if your boyfriend wants to use en-suite why should you feel that's a problem?

    In my home, the pets appear to make the rules. I am nothing but a minion.

    No smoking in the house, even though I am a smoker but always smoke outdoors.
    E Cigs are fine, don't have a problem with them.

    No Smoking (I don't care who you are, even the Queen would be told no smoking). I don't smoke so I don't see why my house should smell of cigarette smoke.

    Shoes off at the door (this one is a little flexible but in our new house it won't be because we will have new rugs and carpets hell I may buy a selection of slippers so people don't get offended:D)

    Clean the toilet after you and spray air freshener if it smells.

    Open windows for at least an hour a day

    And if the cat is asleep on the sofa either move her gently on the cushion or leave her be.

    No rules really, we're pretty chilled out and don't feel the need to have rules. There are things that get done all the time such as washing up straight after cooking but that's just something we do and it's not an issue if it doesn't get done sometimes.

    No eating stinky fried chicken or kebabs with chilli sauce in the living room when coming home after a drinking session. The smell the next day makes me heave, especially if I'm hung over!

    You can't be that drunk if you're thinking about enforcing rules!

    Ño smoking in the house. Make sure the doors are locked at night. That' s all.

    I don't have too many rules.

    Don't leave empty cups, plates etc in the lounge, put them in the kitchen next to the sink if you're not planning to wash them immediately.

    Switch the lights off when you leave the room!

    Not really. We have been living together for so long now we just rub along perfectly without the need for rules. I think its different if you have kids.

    The only one I can think of is that we must rinse the bath after use and clear any hair from the plug. My husband went through a stage of not taking his hair from the plug .... so I left it. It built up and up until the plug struggled to go in. I then removed it - and propped it on his toothbrush. He hasn't done it since.

    There is only one rule in my house;

    Don't use the mugs on the mug tree until all the mugs in the cupboard have been used.

    So are the mugs on the mug tree posh ones ?

    No smoking (we don't, but for guests).
    Always make the bed in the morning or at least pull back the duvet and fluff the sheets and pillows to air (nothing worse than getting in a stale bed).
    If you make a skid mark in the toilet, clean it immediately.
    If you're making a drink, ask the other person if they want one.
    Always hang your towel up to dry after use.

    Clean your own skidmarks in the toilet. You'll be amazed at how often my brother fails to do this.

    ^Ha. I hadn't seen your list when I sent this :D

    Well..poshish. ( they have no chips and they match :D )
    It's my only house rule and it's constantly broken. Barely a day goes by when I'm not going apeshit about mugs.
