I don't believe that children that have parents that work outside of the house are at a disadvantage... I also don't believe that children that have a parent that stays at home somehow benifit.

It is the "prepared to enforce" bit I and others keep asking you about. If a gentle reminder did not work, then what? You never seem to have considered how you would enforce this rule in the face of actual opposition.
Of course I have had rules. However, before any rule was set, I carefully considered if it were enforceable and if so how it would be enforced.
So then I'm really lost here....what are you disagreeing with me about?

Again, what I said was if they won't do it, again, it's just like any other rule in the house, they are reminded of the rule and expected to follow that rule...we don't have a lot of rules that don't have a point, perhaps that's why it's never been a battle?

AGAIN, it's never been a battle.

<<So, IOW, there are no consequences if the rule is broken. >>
No, that is false...however, iow...the rule hasn't ever been broken, pushed a bit yes....but completely and totally refused, no...so

i guess this is where the line gets drawn
