Yes the rules are personal and specific, mostly because my hubby want's everything black and white, so there is no wiggle room, because I swear that when I just had general rules, I could convince him every time how what I did, didn't "technically" count as breaking a rule. LOL <br /><br />Princess xoxoPRINCESShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165144577279231483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526983340417554344.post-31141596085293248372011-10-28T19:23:13.289-05:002011-10-28T19:23:13.289-05:00I don't have a lot of specific rules, just a f...I don't have a lot of specific rules, just a few, but I can understand where specifics could be helpful in addressing areas that you struggle with. Specific rules tend to be very personal that way, which is a good thing.<br /><br />I'm so sorry about your oldest brother. That's awful! I can understand why that makes it hard for you to wear your seat belt. I hope you do wear it though.<br /><br />I too loved the last line and agree that it's interesting to read what works for others. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526983340417554344.post-8697519872536739362011-10-27T20:31:28.272-05:002011-10-27T20:31:28.272-05:00Seems pretty simple when you put it like that does...Seems pretty simple when you put it like that doesn't it?

We're all doing the same thing, we're just all doing it a bit differently :)<br /><br /><br />Mandy~LOL No, actually, I'm a very good girl:) That's why I need so many rules....If I only had a few, I'd never be in trouble;)<br />Oh and on the seat belt rule, yeah, it's a law, so it should be a given, but 14 years ago my oldest brother was burned alive in a car accident. He couldn't get out of his seat belt.<br />So I haven't worn my seat belt since then. It's a fear I have. But now it's a rule. It's hard.<br /><br />Kiwi~ yes I remember you actually confessed on my blog about the little deal you and your friend had going with the money thing!!:)<br />I often wondered how that turned out for you...<br /><br /><br />~Princess xoxoPRINCESShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165144577279231483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526983340417554344.post-30104634729447788962011-10-27T17:57:46.694-05:002011-10-27T17:57:46.694-05:00its a lot of rules, but many i feel come under the...its a lot of rules, but many i feel come under the 4 D's - you guys have just broken them down - i have a few similar ones - shopping budget - receipts - approval before spending.

Isn't that a given?

But there are many other areas covered in the rest. I do actually like having them in writing, that way everything is black and white (hubby's 2 favorite colors) , so there is no guessing if I broke one and Having to read them every day actually helps me to follow them. They are fresh in my mind for the day. It's not fool proof, but it works for us :)PRINCESShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165144577279231483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526983340417554344.post-44157350519244032622011-10-27T15:49:50.668-05:002011-10-27T15:49:50.668-05:00That is a long list...but really it's just spe...That is a long list...but really it's just specifics about respect, obedience, cooperation and getting stuff done. Sometimes being specific is good...no loopholes...lol.<br /><br />We don't have a list or anything written all but we both know what they are. There are a handful of firm true rules but the rest are guidelines and I know when I cross the line or manipulate the intent of one. <br /><br />It sounds like you like them exactly the way they are, so it must work perfectly, if ouchily.

Saying that, that would probably make the other rules a lot easier to keep!! :)) I'll let you know for sure if he thinks about putting in place a rule regarding smoking coz let me tell you......

I can understand the reasons you have listed for having them though and they all make sense. I have a 'discussion of our rules' coming up very shortly so I'm wondering if I'll still think 30's a lot after it!
