OK, I have given this some deep thought and I believe I have a list that I can post in my house. I looked at W. Bruce Cameron’s 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, which I thought were pretty good, but these are rules that a dad wrote. My “Play Date Rules” need what you might call a mother’s fine touch to them. I will have to keep these rules short since the attention span of most teenage boys is that of a flea, so here you go:
Play Date Rules
- No boys allowed in any bedrooms or any room with a door attached to it for that matter.
- If you can help yourself to my food, you can help yourself to my dishwasher as well.
- If you shouldn’t stand on something then don’t put your feet on it at all.
- No kissing allowed in front of minors or parents for that matter.
- If I don’t like you, my daughter does not like you, she just might not know it yet!
- If you get accidentally get something pregnant, you accidentally marry it.
- My first name is Mrs. and his is Mr.
- Curfews are not negotiable. We go by the clock on our wall, don’t want to get in trouble then set your watch by our clock!
- We believe in the 3 strike law. If you screw up 3 times you are out of here unless you screwed up and broke Rule number 6!

I am thinking of putting up a gun rack in our mud room and posting this right below it!

/ July 17, 2008I love it too. These are great and we may think is funny but I really believe in all of these. They are plain and simple rules but all have good meanings behind them.
Good job.
My husband believes in the KISS theory. Keep It Simple Stupid!
