My house, my rules–it's that simple.
Dads everywhere all used to say this when their kids messed with the thermostat in the summertime, invited over our boisterous friends, and dealt with unruly in-laws at the family barbecue. As adults, and especially once you're a homeowner, this private living space you call your own is your domain and any outsiders must adhere to your laws. It's your house, they have to respect your rules.
The dad in this next story taught an outsider this lesson very quickly. Over the weekend, and during one of the most massive heat waves of the summer, u/Empty-Wash-4761 thought he'd be merciful, inviting his brother and his girlfriend over to enjoy their pool and escape the 120-degree heat (~49C). However, once the girlfriend set foot in his house, she had plenty of notes on how his kids should behave in their own pool.
Sorry lady, but you're a guest in this house and in this home, we SPLASH at the pool. Read on for all the details of how a dad came to the defense of his rambunctious kids who will get dibs over the pool any day–regardless of the heatwave.
