No shoes in the house people

This is me--never wear my outside shoes in the house and do all I can to enforce this rule with my kids and DH, who would forget if I did not remind them. But, for general guests and parties, I let it go. For playdates or when my kids have friends over, I do ask the kids to take off their shoes because I don't want sneakers on our basement carpet, where they tend to hang out anyway.

Why would it be rude? It’s their home.

It’s incredibly rude.

Dont go to Japan i guess.

Same in a lot of Europe. I've gone to meetings at offices and taken shoes off at the entrance.

I'm a no-shoes-in-the-house person and I'm am totally fine with people wearing shoes for parties. I just clean the floors well afterwards!

I come from a no-shoes south Asian home and my parents friends always removed shoes for parties. My husband is from a no shoes eastern European home and same.

We don't wear shoes in the house, but would never ask a guest to remove their shoes. it's awkward and weird, unless you tell them ahead of time.

Don't wear those boots. Problem solved. I'm sure you have other shoes to wear.

No, I don't make people take their shoes off for parties. I usually roll up our nice rug and put it in the basement for parties.

Would you let someone smoke a cigarette in your no smoking home?

I would not wear those boots to the party then.

Japanese people tend to socialize outside their homes, except for with close friends and family.

Do you eat or receive things with your left hand? Disgusting, I would leave if someone did that. That is incredibly rude and presumptuous. Hard no for me. And I wouldn’t want to be friends with anyone that filthy.

Oh wait, do you think that’s ridiculous? So do I. I guess it’s better to respect cultural differences than be an inconsiderate jerk about them.

Is it that difficult to pick out a different pair of shoes to wear? I mean, I get it. I know that those types of boots 'go' with your outfit, but perhaps this isn't the time nor place for that outfit. Sounds like this outfit is better suited for a party in a public setting, like a bar or restaurant or something. Not a house party.
