Have you ever played "my house my rules" on someone?

And how old were you at the time?

As to the question: no, not really. Besides, I’m married. It’s the wife’s rules, not mine.

@Darth_Algar I was 20 at the time. All I did was get silent, and they flipped out. They forgot that they did the same thing to me when I was 18 after I was groped by my father. I flipped out too then.

“My house my rules” is another way of saying, “I am going to be a dick instead of being a good host.”

@zenvelo Yes. It was very satisfying way of establishing my independence.

I don’t allow swearing or smoking in my house, so, yes.

I’m confused.
Did you use that as an excuse to force yourself on someone?

I’m way confused as well. What was “their rules” and how did it relate to being molested by your father? (I’m very sorry you went through that with your dad, that is awful)

I was 19 and living with a couple of friends. One night we had a party…lots of people. Some guy I didn’t know came and at one point opened his beer bottle and “flipped” the cap across the room. I said something like “nice flip, now go pick it up.” He ignored me so I told him again to go pick it up. He snapped back that I needed to mind my own business, that he knew the people who lived here so I just needed to shut up. I told him I lived here, that I didn’t know him so he could go pick up his beer cap and then leave. He looked around and realized there were many people there that did know me and that he was on the losing side of this. He picked up his beer cap and left. My house, my rules.

Many times.
Yet still got convicted for murder.

Several times, I dont play. Three times it was meth, they were told to leave. Its craxy they think sober people cant tell.

I think the closest I’ve come to that was a “my house, get out.”

My daughter’s boyfriend sneaked in to my house to make out in my basement.
He has hated me since.

Yes. When I had my son and his wife and kids over for a casual dinner his wife started screaming at one of the kids to EAT the food I had cooked that they didn’t want. She was screaming, ny granddaughter was sobbing, I stepped in and said “In this house, and with my food, we do not force people to eat.”
Shut her right the hell up.

Erm, let me see…yeah, of course.

@Patty_Melt No. I would never do that.

I understand now. When you referenced your dad it worried me that you had repeated his transgression. When you explained about the beer cap then I understood.
I am so glad, because such an event would cause me to lose respect for you, and that would be very painful for me.

I would have done the same if I had someone disrespecting my house like that. The guy was obviously a real jerk.

@Patty_Melt That was seawulf575 with the bottle cap story not reddeerguy1

I was more confused than I realized.
Now I must wear the cone of shame.
SQUIRREL!
