Rules

As a young dad I have learned a few things along the way. One of the most interesting things to think about are rules and their evolution as the days go on.
I have learned to stay away from certain terms when setting rules. These are the "set in stone" words. For example: I will never ________ or, we will always ____________. These are likely at some time going to need to be amended for some special circumstance.
I like to have game plan rules. Like, we will, if available, all sit at the table to eat dinner. We then have the flexibility to change if need be.
Today I implemented a new rule that I don't envision us changing:

"We will not walk outside without our pants on."

That's one that I hope sticks around for a while.
