HOUSE RULES

At the Kirton-Niner Homestead

1. The Youngest Mind Rules the Roost
   Protect innocence. Encourage curiosity. Decisions are made with the next generation in mind—because their future is built by what we do today.
2. Respect is Earned and Returned
   Every being—young, old, two-legged or four—deserves respect. If you want it, show it.
3. Honesty, Even When It’s Hard
   We don’t sugarcoat. We speak truth with love, and we own our words.
4. Courage Lives Here
   Fear has no place in this house. Stand up, speak out, and never be ashamed of doing what’s right.
5. Forgiveness is Freedom
   We forgive to lighten our own hearts—not to excuse bad behavior. Once forgiven, don’t repeat the offense.
6. Everyone Pulls Their Weight
   No freeloaders. Whether it’s chores, care, or conversation—everyone contributes.
7. Happiness is a Daily Choice
   Complain less. Laugh more. If you can’t find joy, create it.
8. Gratitude Before Grumbling
   Before you speak on what’s missing, give thanks for what’s present.
9. Love Without Strings, Boundaries Without Apology
   Love is unconditional. Boundaries are non-negotiable.
10. Serve With a Willing Heart
    If you see something that needs doing, do it. Kindness is our currency.
11. Keep It Clean—Your Space, Your Spirit, Your Speech
    A clean environment reflects a clear mind. Watch your words—they shape your world.
12. Be Someone Others Can Count On
    Your word is your bond. If you say it, mean it. If you can’t, don’t.
13. Know Your Worth and Walk Like It
    No self-deprecation. Confidence lives here, alongside humility.
14. Obedience to God, the Eternal Father, Comes First
    We answer to a higher Law—the Melchizedek Priesthood guides this Mother Creeker, not the trends of men.
15. No Gossip, No Drama, No Nonsense
    We speak to solve, not to stir. Take your negativity elsewhere.
16. Animals Are Not Pets—They’re Family
    Respect every creature under this roof and on this land. They have roles, rights, and our protection.
17. Enter with Integrity, Leave with Honor
    If you walk through these doors, you carry our standard. Act like it.
