Meaning if you're gonna disagree with something, you're gonna get into an argument with each other, house rules apply. That means there's no name calling, there's no hitting, there's no trying to boast or brag of like, well, I got this. Any of that, that's not allowed. That's not allowed. So it is to encourage them
