The Ten Most Common "House Rules" We Had Growing Up

Do you remember all those ridiculous rules your parents had for you growing up? Be honest, how many of those same rules have you carried over into you house? A new survey from SWNS Digital looked at the most common house rules all of us had growing up and here are the top 10....

1.  You can't play until you finish your homework.  (43% of us had to deal with that one.)


2.  No TV until homework is done, 37%.

3.  You can't leave the table until you eat all your vegetables, 35%.

4.  No sweets until after dinner, 34%.

5.  You had a limit on TV time if it was a school night, 30%.

6.  Finish everything on your plate, even if you don't like it, 29%.

7.  You can't do anything fun until your chores are finished, 28%.

8.  No snacks right before dinner, 27%.

9.  Be home before the streetlights turn on, 27%. (Not me, I just listened for that loud whistle from my Dad and I knew I better get my butt home!)

10.  No eating in your bedroom, 25%.

The survey also asked people to name the top things that made someone's house a "cool house" when they were kids.  The top answers were:

Good snacks

Video games

Cable TV

A pool

Better toys than you had at home.
