This is a question Family codes and rituals

Freddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."

What codes and rituals does your family have?

Ripping the piss constantly
like, in a my own father told me once, "You should have been a blow job" kind of way.

We rip each other to shreds every moment we spend together and we all laugh like loons about it.

It's pretty hard to fall out with people when the rules are 'no holds barred'.

We have a great dynamic.

However, this does not leave you well situated to go into the real world. People are awfully sensitive.

Boring bastards.

EDIT: Also, wrestling. We're all huge fight fans and with the right amount of alcohol, my brothers and I generally have a good old scrap. I've fought my Dad. The first time we had to stop and call it a draw cos me Ma wanted to watch the lotto but the second time I kicked his arse and he quit. Once he even sneaked up behind me and caught me in a rear naked choke (which is a Jiu-Jitsu submission) and he didnt let go until someone pointed out I was about to pass out cos I'm too hard to tap. Rargh!

Fighting is fun.

We always have a rule for kids that decided to start a fight in our household.
It has to be Sumo.

You can't stay angry when your doing Sumo wrestling.

Fighting with discipline teaches you a lot about respect.

No,we taught him how to fight
My brothers and I took over the running of our family a long time ago as we didnt like the previous regime as no-one could get along very much. We all get along much better with us in charge.
