947’s Anele and The Club chat more about it.
Listen below:
Any kid would believe that if they were the boss and made the house rules, things would be so much easier and cooler.
If the iconic film ‘Home Alone’ is anything to go by, it will be a week to remember.
Well, what would those rules be?
For Anele, she wanted to change the rules around dishing up food in her house.
“When I was younger, the one rule I wanted to change in my household was that ‘first come first served’. I would rather it go like that than the oldest people in the house get the drumstick.”
– Anele Mdoda
For Cindy, after growing up in a house with not many rules, she just had to implement some in her house. This is what her kids had to say about it:
“I would make sure that we have dessert after dinner every night, we should be allowed any night that we want to go out until any time and more than twice a weekend.”
– Sienna, Cindy’s daughter
“Everyone has to take a turn to feed the dogs, not just me and my sister.”
– Alessia, Cindy’s daughter
Here’s what 947’s kid listeners had to say…
“The rule is, when we eat, we watch TV.”
– 947 kid listener
“I still have to get the parents’ number of who I am going to hang out with. I feel like I am old enough and have enough responsibility.”
– 947 kid listener
“Screentime, we need more screentime!”
– 947 kid-listener
There you have it, the kids have spoken!
