My house, my rules. Everyone knows the rules and none are obligated to
come here.

Everyone sits at the table together. No cel phones or any other
electronics. I even take the house phone off the hook.

Last year they wanted the TV on. So I put on the comcast fireplace
channel.

That will learn em.
