1.

I will treat you with respect, so you will know how to treat me.

Feel free to do anything that doesn’t cause a problem for anyone else.

3.

If you cause a problem, I will ask you to solve it.

4.

If you can’t solve the problem or choose not to, I will do something.

5.

What I do, will depend on the special person and the special
