Back when our 4 were home, our house was "the house" to be at. I did not really mind as I knew who my kids were with & what they were doing. We had house Rules & they were followed by everybody. No problems. We even had a rotating kitch cleanup policy. Trash take out, loading & unloading dishwasher was shared amongst the kids. I sometimes wonder if it was because we cared to make sure that our Rules were followed, was why we always had way more than our 4 every single night for supper.
