We do not have house rules, when we do they'll be simple hygenic keep things running smooth rule. No leaving wet laundry in the washer till it dries on its own, that leads to moldy smelling stinky clothing. Change dish drainer rags once a week, so the above stink don't happen. DO NOT leave dirty dish washing water in the sink drain sink immediatly. Leaving it in the sink makes the kitchen stink promotes mold growth under the matts and is plain nasty to put your hands into. Dishrags will be changed as needed and dried out after every dish washing, because sitting around wet makes them smell nasty. I will no longer be allowed to leave dishes and trash to pile up in our room like I do here when it's just me. My mom currently does all the stuff on the list, and it's nasty and gross and she always has, and sometimes personally you don't catch it in time, and it makes me so irritated to get a clean glass and it REEKS! or a clean towl and it reeks, So James and I have agree'd that those conditions w/ill not be going on in our home. So there you have it, not exciting, but practical as all get out lol.quote:
ORIGINAL: SusanofO The man I am meeting next week wanted me to think about kinds of "House rules" I'd be comfortable with. Admittedly, (to both of us), we'd have to know eachother much better to ever agree to be in a 24/7 relationship, but we both have a problem with situations where the "rules" are either too vaugue to really be enforceable (as in "Respect other people") or else are made up on the spur-of-the-moment by the Dominant, so he can "punish" a submissive, when she (or he) really hasn't broken a rule (because she didn't know it existed, or he or she lacked the foresight to think of making it an explicit rule, when it perhaps should have been obvious the situation in question could have posed a problem, before then). I am not sure I can do this at all, without knowing someone better, but will give it a shot. For instance, I know I am a semi "neat freak" and just hate a sloppy environment, and so I suppose one of mine might be: *"Do dishes (the submissive person) within an hour after eating, unless there is a good reason that prevents this" (company is present, and they need to be entertained, and to excuse oneself to do dishes and clean the kitchen for an hour might be construed as rude by them, etc. If it wouldn't be construed as rude, or would be seen as "nuetral", then go ahead and do the dishes)." Because I hate also fighting, and angry people, another of mine would probably be: *"No screaming (either person) if you are angry at someone" - if you are so angry you cannot control your temper, leave the vicinity until you cool down". - I'd think this would be obvious, but am taking nothing for granted, as far as that goes, on either end. Another I guess would be *If you ask me to learn a new task, you must give me a reasonable length of time in which to learn it, either based on your past experience with me, or from reading or asking about how long it has taken others to learn it." My question, then is: If you live together, with your partner(s), or if you visit your partner and spedn substantial amounts of time in their house or apartment (or vice-versa), what are your "house rules" - if you have them? Just wondering. Thanks for any replies. - Susan
