The biggest one was no cussing. I wondered what was so bad about it when I was a kid, as in “What makes it okay say poop but s*** is a bad word?”. Now that I’m a parent, I understand. It’s really embarrassing when your kid cusses in public or in front of their grandparents.
Other than that, we only enforce the basic rules for our kids, such as don’t hurt people or animals, don’t break other people’s stuff, don’t be mean to other people, don’t do dangerous things.
My husband abandoned all of the rules that his own grandma adamantly enforced when he was growing up.

When girlfriends/boyfriends visit, the bedroom door stays OPEN. That one I also enforced until both were legal adults. Not that that stopped them, but it did when either my wife or I were at home.
