disrespectful to my parents or other members of the household than I
may be subjected to fines or extra chores.

of chores in order to help out in the household and to avoid any rent
charges. I will be responsible for washing and folding my own laundry.
I am also responsible for my own personal space and will keep it
orderly and clean. I will be provided cooked meals as long as I help
the cook with dishes and clean up after myself or others when the
kitchen is in need of it. Other chores to avoid paying rent include:

then I will procure rides in some other fashion.

do not feel that I was disrespectful then a family meeting will be

not it is grounds for fines or more chores. Although I do realize that
my family may have a part, it is ultimately up to my parents to decide
whether or not I will be subject to any consequences.

If I fail to abide by these rules, my parents can and will take away
privileges as appropriate, charge fess, or demand for alternate living
arrangements.
