The Rules

We posted these in the kitchen.  They seem to be working.

THE RULES

1. No sulking, no tantrums, no flinging things around or snapping at people.  If you’re in a bad mood, we’re sorry.  Don’t take it out on the rest of us. 

2. If a family member is in a bad mood, do something nice to let them know you love them.

3. Actually, do something nice for a family member daily whether they’re in a bad mood or not.

4. Keep your stuff picked up, especially in shared areas.

5. Speaking of sharing, there’s only one television.  Learn to take turns and, you know, be nice about it.

6. The cat’s getting old.  Treat him gently.

7. Having said that, if you catch him on the island, feel free to squirt his disobedient feline self mercilessly.

8.  Communication is our friend.  Use the calendar, text, use social media, talk.

9. If you do something you shouldn’t have, apologizing is the way to go.

10.  Remember, we’re all in this together.
