RuLeS or No RuLeS

Well my kids think that our RuLeS are very uNFaiR and that it is not FaiR that they can't do what they WaNT when they WaNT. So we decided for one week they would make their own "Rules" for the most part and they would have to pay the consequence of their own choices for their rules. Well they thought this sounded great. But after the first day they were begging for some rules because nothing was getting done for them and it wasn't as easy and great as they thought. By the end of the week they had learned a good lesson (I hope). Here is one example of what happened that week. Daxton decided one day he wasn't going to do his homework because he wanted to play instead so when he went to school the next day with no homework completed his teacher (which new ahead of time what we were doing with the no rules) said he would have to stay in at recesse and do his homework. Well he decided to do it while she was reading instead well to make a long story short she threw that one away and he ended up missing two recesses for not following directions. He came home and said he would never not do his homework. Now they understand RULES are here for a Reason!!!
