Chapter 17
Matt and Sanda were sitting at the table drinking coffee while Matt was eating some chocolate chip cookies Sanda had made the day before. Sanda got a note pad, and a pen and said they needed to write down the rules so when they talked to Sophia they would be organized, and not forget what they want to say.
Matt smiled, "Ok but where do we start"?
Sanda laughed, "Matt she is your daughter think of things you want on this list"
Matt was thinking when Sanda finally said she would give some suggestions, and he could agree or not.
List of rules in our Home for Sophia
1. Homework is first priority, and after she could watch TV go on the computer or read or talk to her friends"
Matt smiled, "Sounds great what should the next one be"
2. We expect her in the house by 10pm on school nights, and weekends no later than 11pm"
"Sanda she is going to yell and scream on that one. Annie is constantly telling me she takes off even though Annie told her to stay in"
"Well Matt she would have to be grounded if she wasn't home"
"Grounded oh that sounds drastic"
"Matt can you take this serious she is a young teen. She needs rules she needs Annie and you to stick together, and set these rule. It is dangerous out there nowadays and anything could happen to a young teen like Sophia. There are men, and criminals out there that would see she is running around at night, and anything could happen. I was in the house at 8 growing up, and boy was I in the house when my Parents told me what time I better be home" Sanda said.
Matt smiled, "9 it is she will have to deal with it or be grounded"
Ok number 3. She must keep her room clean, and do the dishes and help out whenever needed"
"Sounds good"
number 4. She can have friends over but no boys"
"I like that one" Matt said smiling making Sanda smile
Last but not least number 5, No swearing and yelling with her Parents. I expect all of you to talk but no yelling and screaming.
Matt smiled, "Tell that to Annie Sanda"
"Matt you and Annie have to get along for Sophia's sake. She needs to know her Parents are working together. She sees you disagreeing she will use that against you both. You have to respect Annie's rules, and she must respect yours. I know you care for Annie she is the Mother of your child and the way you both acted in front of Sophia was wrong. She will go to whatever parent she thinks she can get away with stuff and the other one will accuse them of being the one that let her run wild. Sophia is a wonderful girl both you and Annie should be proud but she is at the age where she has to learn there are rules, and consequences to actions that we do not approve of"
"You would be a wonderful parent Sanda"
Sanda smiled as Matt leaned over giving her a kiss. He than whispered, "When she wakes up we will talk to her, and I promise I will be firm"
"I know you will Matt"
"I just don't want her to hate me"
"She would never hate you Matt she loves you."
"And I love her, and you too Angel". They hugged each other both pretty proud of the list they came up with. They just hoped Sophia didn't get upset because Sanda wanted to prove to Annie Matt could take care of their daughter just as well as she can.

Cute update Jessie. I love the house rules that Sanda and Matt came up with for Matt and Annie's daughter Sophia even though I think Sophia could be out until 10 but no later than 11 on Friday and Saturday nights. Nine is kind of early on a Friday or Saturday night in my opinion. I just hope and pray that Sophia and Tegan like the House Rules that Sanda and Matt came up with Sophia to follow. I can't wait to find how Sophia and Tegan are going to like the House Rules that Sanda and Matt came up with. It think it would be so cute if I got pregnant with Matt's child while Sophia is living with us. Please update this story soon.
