My son said last night I "boss" him around because I tell him to take a shower and brush his teeth. I asked him, "be honest. If I didn't tell you to shower or brush your teeth, would you?" He said, "no." Well then kid, that's exactly why I tell you what to do..but it's not bossing him around as he says lol. It's my job to make sure my kids have good hygiene.
Eta: I wouldn't call them rules per se, more like a routine I wish I didn't have to keep reminding my kids to do.
If it's been hours since your stomach has been rumbling...no matter how hard the baby is crying or even if he's sleeping soundly on your lap, get up and at least grab a granola bar or a banana or something! Feed the mama!
#1 stand your ground: with in laws, with your opinionated children (that happen to be adults), with family.... 2# forgive often & quickly (yourself & others) 3# hug for at least 10 seconds 4# eat that baby up because it's all going to be over so fast

#2. Have easy grab and go snacks because no one likes a hangry mama.
#3. Try to shower before noon you dirtball.
#4. Take at least 10 minutes a day for yourself.
#5. Shave your legs.
