House Rules?

I need momma help, again.  I know every momma goes through this but how to you enforce your house rules at other people’s house? Or do you just not enforce them? I would like to obey the current house rules (wherever I am) plus ours, is that too much to ask?

These are my current house rules for my 2 ½ year old
1) No throwing anything in the house
2) No hitting, biting, kicking, etc
3) No eating anywhere but the kitchen/dining room

Now you see some of these rules aren’t the same for everybody.  Some parents let their kids eat in the living room or play ball in the house.  What do I do?

Truly,
First time momma looking for advice

Where are my wonderful mommys?

My little monkey will be starting preschool in September, we are excited, sad, and nervous all at the same time.  We have to start getting prepared alittle early because we will be on vacation the week before he starts preschool.  So I am starting to think about what to pack every day in his lunch box (just thinking about him carrying a lunch box gets me sad).  Now the preschool has a fridge and microwave but I don’t if they have room to keep every child’s lunch cold and I don’t want Monkey to sit and wait forever while the teacher heat all the lunches up either. So what do I pack in his lunch box?  I have been so blessed not to worry about this until now. I also don’t know if the preschool is waste free or peanut free, I will ask the next time I go back.

Here are some of my thoughts
Seasonal fruit of course, something that I can cut up ahead
String Cheese and Yogurt
Rice and Beans (in a thermos)
PBJ sandwiches

I am going to try next week to see if he will eat…
whole wheat pasta with minced broccoli and a touch of olive oil
Raw Veggies and hummus
