Unfounded house rules that can plunge guests into shock and discourage the desire to come again

The house is the fortress of every family. At home, a person can relax after a hard day’s work. Every house has its own rules and regulations. And if you come to visit this man, you must respect the laws of his house. But sometimes people have very strange rules. And the newsroom. "Site" I have compiled a collection for you. commonplace It is established by family members.



One reader told us that her ex-husband did not allow her to use the item immediately purchased. “Even if an item was bought in return for a broken or torn item, it had to remain intact for at least a month. When asked why, he replied, “The thing should get used to the house and it should not interfere.” Years later, we divorced because I couldn’t stand the expectation of using kitchen devices.”



Another reader told us a strange rule in the house of his best friend. “All family members had to go to bed at exactly 9 p.m. It doesn’t matter how old you are, whether it’s weekends or working days. At the same time, the house was supposed to be quiet and the light was completely extinguished. And the friend turned out to be an owl, and it was just unbearable for him to adhere to his father's rule. What tricks did he not have to go to sleep? And if on one evening the father noticed that the son was awake after 21:00, he was deprived of breakfast.



“In the family of my classmate,” shares another reader, “was the strictest accounting of water from the tap. Her mother was obsessed with conserving water on earth. In the kitchen there was a table in which each family member or guest noted how much water he poured into the glass, how much water he spent on cooking, how much on washing dishes. One day, her father jokingly suggested that she put counters on every tap in the house. My mother did not understand the joke and the next day she called the meter installer.



“As a child, we often played with the boy next door. Everyone lived about the same, there was nothing to brag about. But every time this boy admired the bed in my room. I dreamed that when I grew up, I would buy one. One time I went to his house and found that there were no beds in their apartment. Neither his parents nor his. There was a sofa in the hall, but it was impossible to sit on it. Both parents worked in the factory and could afford to buy beds. By the way, their nationality was Slavic and religion allowed them to sleep on beds, is another amazing story from our reader.



One subscriber wrote to us: One day my grandmother and I went to visit her friend. This is the early 2000s, there was no shortage of goods in the stores, and you could find a job. All my life, my grandmother’s friend collected dowry for her children. When we walked into her apartment, she looked more like a storehouse. Rolled carpets, packed sets, bed linens, towels. Everything that is necessary for a normal life. She ate from a cracked plate and drank from a cup with a broken handle. At the same time, she worked all her life at the factory as a master and could afford to buy decent dishes. She was very proud of the dowry for her children and bragged about it all the time. By the way, when the children got married, neither the son nor the daughter received these things from their mother.
