family rules

Every family has its own rules, same as mine. I have an elder sister and a cousin, and we have to share household chores. I have to clean the house, my elder sister has to wash the dishes, my cousin has to help my mom prepare meals, and my father mends things during the weekends. Second, my parents don't allow us to come home later than 10.30 pm. Lastly, we have to go to bed at 11 pm and they only let us sleep in up to 7.30 am on Sundays.

I had a bit of trouble understanding you, so I tried to change certain phrases or words as best I could. Usually the word "the" is used when you're talking about a specific thing among general things. For example, "I like the dogs" means there's a particular group of dogs you like, whereas "I like dogs" means you like all dogs in general.
