Your children wear shoes in the house? We have friends that where adults wear shoes in the house but the children have to take off.Its not something I want, I think everyone should be treated the same and either all or all remove their shoes leave them on. Your children wear shoes in the house?
Nobody wears shoes in the house - adults, children or guests. It is simply the filthiest house so much faster to wear shoes inside, in my humble opinion.
Maybe your friend feels the children are cared for in the mud or something?
We never had a policy on shoes when we lived in a house fully carpeted, but now that we moved somewhere with a lot of tiles and wooden shoes out the door. They are so strong.
I can understand how children can be identified as a problem. Who knows where they have been with these shoes, and they have traveled. Adults usually stick to paved paths, but children have no qualms about running in the muddy grass, or anything else out there. Perhaps there was a specific incident that started it all.
There is also the possibility that parents have a sort of foot problems that make them more comfortable wearing shoes that do not. Maybe a sort of arch supports that help back, perhaps a kind of embarrassing funny shaped legs, who knows. Things like that could have initially helped the ditch too.
There are usually real reasons why people do things.
It is not always true that everyone should be treated equally. If this were true, you would leave your old hard drive in your four years, and you let them dictate the rules as often as you do and punish you as often as you punish them. It simply does not work that way with children. They are not equal. Equality in terms of respect, yes, but not equal in terms of rights. You have a right to a glass of wine or two. Your children are not. It follows that in other areas, children are also treated differently.
While the feet develop, it is preferable for them to remain free for most of the day, and many young people prefer to be without shoes. So it makes sense for kids to go barefoot as soon as possible and put the shoes to leave the house (many go barefoot outside, too, when the weather is nice).
On the other hand, many adults seem to be more comfortable to wear shoes. Perhaps also to maintain a certain image (if it is not all that matters at home).
Thus, even when this is not a rule "house", children may be more likely to take off their shoes just because that is what they prefer.
It seems that these people might as well provide their children with different shoes for indoor and outdoor pools, or simply tell them to wipe their feet. I also think that if they trust their adult friends to keep their own shoes, they would also rely on them to ensure that shoes are their own children as well.
we could if we wanted my parents dont really care, but we usually do just because of plain old socks or slippers are better than sneakers
in our house everyone must remove their shoes or their dead
