Weird House Rules That Made Guests Feel Unwelcome

Home is where the heart is, but when you’re a guest in someone else’s home, you might not always feel so welcome. When you’re the adult of the house, you can start setting your own rules, no matter how strange they might be.

Just don’t get offended when your guests start telling you exactly just how strange your routines are.

Off Limits

There is a room just as you walk in the house that is completely off limits. It’s vacuumed constantly and is a picturesque pink frilly sitting room, pink carpets, etc. Think Dolores Umbrage.

My parents brought their dog over once (who is a fantastic chill dog) and she put a paw on the carpet and my MIL almost had an aneurysm.

Water Doesn’t Grow on Trees

1 bath a week. If you had more than that you got screamed at. The kids would end up showering at a friend’s house.

Fun Police

If you had too much fun doing something, they wouldn’t let you do it anymore. It made my husband very good at lying and also very obsessive about things he enjoyed.

Or, if you had too much fun in a weekend you weren’t allowed to do something fun later in the weekend. I.e. visiting a friend’s house on Saturday, weren’t allowed to do anything on Sunday except clean or do yard work.

Truth is a Luxury

Not allowed to argue with parents. Mom has a personality disorder and constantly lies. Dad always backs her up. She will lie about what the boys were doing and say they were breaking a rule when they weren’t and they couldn’t argue. (This rule is literally pinned to their wall).
