'I pay the taxes and mortgage in this house'...

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Remember when your dad or mom made that statement growing up...

In this season of watching 2A court news and videos... I one upped it with my smooth brain college sons... 'In this house, I'm also the Supreme Court'. 'You may not like my decision but it's my decision.'..

Edit: my oldest is considering law school, hence my reference to USSC.

Sheesh.

All we ever heard was "my house, my rules".

Also, living here is a privilege. You don't like it there's the door.

The first time my father said that to me I moved out. I was 16, just a few days short of 17.

By the time I was 16, I was rarely at "home".
Went to school, had a job, and a girlfriend. I often would sleep at a friends house, and the times I went "home", it was long enough for a shower and a couple hours of sleep.

For my sons, enlisting in the US Marine Corp was a better option than staying with dad after HS graduation. Both of them enlisted two years apart almost to the day, 17 and 10 months and off to Parris Island. All of us turned 18 on the island.
One will be home this weekend for a bit before his next overseas gig, I haven't seen him for a year. It will be a fun few months.

Pretty sure I have used all the previously mentioned phrases with my kids.

After my mom left my dad she moved into my house while she figured out her stuff and to save up cash for her own place etc. I tried that "while you live under my roof you will love by my rules" line. She laughed at me. I guess that line only works one direction.

“While the good old US of A is a Republic, this right here is a tyranny — and I’m the Tyrant. Democracy starts at the end of the driveway.” The little ones are still trying to figure out what the big words mean, but they get the message.

Hahahahaha! Well played sir.

She now lives in Florida with her boyfriend. So I'm afraid to inform you there's zero chance I'll be calling you daddy.

This thread got awesome really fast.

My mom was actually kinda cool until she loaded everything up in the bed of my pickup truck in the middle of the winter when I was 18. She left the keys in the ignition and parked it on the side of the road at least. I stayed at my buddy Jeremy’s place for a couple of days until I figured out my next move.

I don’t really remember where I went or what I did after that…but now I’m here on INGO so it couldn’t have been anything good!

I ran our house like the UN. But I was the only permanent member of the security council. That way I had veto power over everything.

I guess I got lucky, never had to use the line on my 15 or 5 year old. Now my 1 year old and wife… that’s a different story.
