What's banned at your home?

[Sinder]

I have no idea if some of these are said in jest but some of you sound really controlling.
I get certain things but some of the things here explain alot.

I don’t really have to ban anything, nobody that comes into my home uses illegal substances or smokes, those would be the only things I wouldn’t allow.
I don’t try to control what other people talk about or watch or eat.

Surely you have not been subjected to Caillou.

Caillou should have been enough to have Canada put on a terrorist watch list, sanctions placed, borders closed!!!!

Smoking in the house.

Recreational drugs? I don’t know of anyone who does this but it would be a hard no.

Ohio State (Go Blue)

Banned in this house too. I prefer GO GREEN!

Also not welcome in my house:
Obvious: smoking, illegal drugs
Odd: Alexa. I can just turn on my own light switch and Google on my own questions. I’m old fashioned that way. (I’ll never say never, but I haven’t had any desire for it.)

 

[cedricandsophie]

Smoking, in the house or on our property
fox news

 

[barkley]

Penguin toys and any movies or nature shows that include penguins especially Happy Feet

have i actually discovered another anti-penguin individual????? my family swears i'm the only person on the face of the earth who doesn't embrace these evil creatures.

Luckily, Alexa cannot come into your house unpurchased. If Alexa was ever controlling stuff in your home, uninvited, now that would be scary. But I imagine Amazon is working on it.

Not that odd. We have an Amazon Fire TV, which has Alexa built in. And the only real use I've found for it is setting a timer when dinner's in the oven. I have two kitchen timers, but if I'm watching TV or gaming while the food cooks, Alexa does a nice job of interrupting me when it's ready. Otherwise, I've tried some of the skills and just don't see the point.

No smoking. Guests can smoke outside.

 

[Wiltony]

and a specific news channel (won't say which, cause points).

Yeah the fact that there's only one tells us all we need to know lol.

 

[Moliphino]

Smoking, guns, a certain news channel

It would be the same for me, but nobody who I would have over is into any of them, thankfully.

 

[mrodgers]

Nothing really. I suppose I don't want you doing cocaine or heroin in my house, that's kind of the obvious one.

Smoking, I don't smoke (tobacco.) I don't think that my life and my home is going to come crumbling down because someone smoked a cigarette in my home, but I don't know anyone who smokes who would light up inside someone's home. Anyone I know who smokes would step outside even if you told them it was ok (assuming the "host" doesn't smoke themselves.)

Not true. Alexa is on so many phones now these days that you don't know if Alexa is entering your house or not. Alexa may not be controlling stuff in your home, but she's (sorry for assuming gender....) quite possibly there right in front of you listening to you and you don't know it.

You have! I detest the little squawkers. I complained strongly to a flight crew one time because the movie selection included Happy Feet. Why happy-they just stick out a little from under their bellies and they actually have to waddle since their legs are too small for their big fat bodies.

 

[amylevan]

Glitter. It gets everywhere!

 

[TB'sWidow]

Smoking
Pot
Guns

Oh boy! My brother and his girl do not have a car. I picked them up to go to my niece's birthday party at the bowling alley. After dropping them off and having stuff in the back seat that I had sitting there for quite a bit, I decided before I could get weather to clean the car to get rid of it for something better. So there I was emptying it out right before leaving and I took what was on the back seat off. WOW! The Glitter!!! LOL Must have come from the clothes she had on because we didn't have any glitter.

 

[disneyseniors]

Ice Cream!!! No, I am really serious. If there is a tub of ice cream in my house, I will eat the whole thing in 2 days! I have no will power when it comes to ice cream so we don't buy it.
Also, if I make cookies or cake, my husband and I will eat all of it!!! in 2 days.
I guess we are hopeless where sweets are involved

 

[tinkerjo]

Like most on here, no smoking in my house!! You can smoke outside if you must but never in my house. No drugs including marijuana, and no SO sleepovers for my older teens/young adults. When your 18 you can do what you want but not at my house, it’s G rated here. (Im no dummy, I know what teens do, I just don’t want it happening under my nose!) and lastly snakes!! Nope, don’t ask, there will not be one coming to my house!!!!!
