Family Economy

Hello. We have homeschool commitments on Wednesday mornings and so I often cannot participate in these calls, but I try very hard to listen if I can.

My question is about the Family Economy and the Family Standard. We attended the 3 day online class, own the book, and have Deep Dive, but we are STILL confused. Sad, I know. We have hosted international students and are licensed foster parents so these questions are a part of what they ask us to establish. We are having a hard time knowing what should go where, if at all. Where do basic house rules go….like: 1) If you open it, close it. 2) If you turn it on, turn it off? Where would you put hygiene rules, like kids 13+ need to shower 5 times a week and use deodorant? Where would you put all devices need to be docked in such-and-such a place from 10pm-7am? Rules about asking for transportation or going out with friends? Where would you put rules about getting chores and school done? What about practicing an instrument or doing sports homework? We also have a printer that we have family rules about and then we have 3 purchase dates a year when youth can use their money to make purchases and tithe so that they think purchases through and budget wisely. Where would this go? We could really use some clarification on what goes where. I do have a copy of your Family Standard in Deep Dive and used it but, then when I went to the Family Economy there was stuff that was not in either location and then I was not sure where it should go? Thank you so much. My husband and I are volleying the answers back and forth and the rough draft has so many arrows and red marks that it looks like maybe it could be a draft of a bad piece of legislation after it crosses your desk? Haha.
