The Kardashians are America's number one family that we all love to watch. The Kardashians became a household name thanks to Kim Kardashian. It was even previously rumored that Kris Jenner, Kim's own mother, leaked the infamous home movie that made their entire family famous. Now, the Kardashians are on almost every TV in America. They were given a reality TV series that became an instant hit on the E! Network. Every family has their own set of rules to follow. Most families’ rules consist of typical things. For example: if one does not have anything nice to say, then they shouldn't say anything at all, no junk food before dinner, or maybe even something along the lines of, no friends over on school nights.

Those are all things that a person would expect to hear when someone mentions anything about family rules. However, normal rules do not apply when it comes to this famous family. That is probably because they have more at stake, and they have to constantly keep up appearances. It is very important to their brand that they watch what they do and say in front of the paparazzi. If someone famous makes one little mistake, it ends up being on the front page of every gossip magazine from coast to coast. This is why the Kardashians have a strict set of rules that they are required to follow. Some of these rules may even seem pretty dark. Who do you think the family named as the main decision maker and, what is the word Kris’s grandkids are not allowed to say? Keep reading this to learn the 15 ridiculous guidelines that the Kardashians adhere to.

Kim, Kylie, And Kendall Have To Behave In Public

We all know the way that the paparazzi and media humiliate female celebrities when they go out for a night on the town and they get into a little bit of trouble. The press has a bad habit of capturing all kinds of things on film that celebrities don’t want shared with the public. So, it is no wonder Kim, Kylie, and Kendall have this rule set for them. Officially, the rules states that they are not allowed to get drunk, or even tipsy, in public. If these three sisters feel like letting loose, they have to do it either in the comfort of their own home or in the home of a trusted friend where they are required to spend the night. These three are the most famous to come out of the Kardashian bloodline, and they do not want to tarnish their reputation by drunken nights out like Britney Spears did or get saddled down with DUIs like Lindsay Lohan has done in the past. Khloe has admitted that Kourtney no longer drinks, so now, it is just the other sisters who do all the drinking in the family. The sisters basically are model citizens when they are out in public.

Visitors Have To Sign A Contract

One major mandatory rule for the Kardashian household is that if a person wants to be a guest at their house, they must always sign a non-disclosure agreement. There are no exceptions to this rule. If a person refuses to sign the document, that person will not be granted access to their home. The Kardashian family has a big name, and they do have to try to protect themselves. So, the non-disclosure agreement protects them from people trying to sell their household stories to the media, which is a major no-no. If a guest is found to have leaked any information, or that they violated the agreement, legal action is taken against them. Kim’s father, the late Robert Kardashian, was a lawyer, and he was big on contracts. The family also does this to make it known that they want to keep their life private. Most people will not sign if they can’t adhere to the rules. In the past, their father stressed the importance of having contracts set in place to protect the family. So, just keep in mind that if one ever wants to pay Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie, or Kris a visit, they should be prepared to sign their life away.

Kris Does Not Like To Be Called Grandma

Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Kylie are the Kardashians sisters that have kids. Kim has three children including an adorable little girl name North (her 4-year-old daughter), Saint (her 1-year-old son) and Chicago, her new born daughter. Kourtney also has three children including Mason (her 7-year-old son), Penelope (her 5-year-old daughter), and Reign (her 2-year-old son). In February 2018, Kylie gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Stormi. On Thursday, April 12, 2018, Khloe gave birth to her daughter. One thing all eight of these kids have in common is that they are not allowed to use the G word when they around their grandmother. By that, I mean they are not allowed to ever call Kris by the dreaded name of Grandma. Kris said that all of a sudden, she just did not like the way the word Grandma sounded anymore. So, she told her grand babies to start calling her Lovey. Kris got the name Lovey from one of her mom’s friends, and she just liked the way it sounded to her. Kris also loves that name because it sounds like the cutest name ever. This is probably by far one of the easiest Kardashian rules to follow.

Kanye Approves Decisions

The Kardashian family trusts in Kanye and all the decisions he makes. Everyone believes that if he chooses something, that is the absolute best option for the family to follow. As strange as this rule sounds, Kanye has the final say in everything. Oddly enough, everything that Kanye has suggested for the family to do has always worked out for everyone. Kris has said at one point, she was having work done on her house, and she was having her driveway paved with cobblestones. But, in the middle of the process, she delayed the entire project all because Kanye said that he did not like the color. So, she wasted all of that time, effort, and money, and she decided to completely redo the entire thing and start from scratch based on Kanye’s opinion. Later on, she went on to say that Kanye was right about it and that she made the right decision listening to him. Another instance was where Kanye refused to even appear on his wife’s show, Keeping Up with The Kardashians. This was because he did not like the lighting and angles that the cameramen were shooting at. At the end of it all, the production team ended up meeting all of Kanye’s demands, but he still didn’t appear on the show.

Don't Wear Bikinis When It Is Bright And Sunny Out And Khloe Only Wears A One-Piece

A random rule the Kardashians follow is that they do not wear bikinis outside in really bright sunlight. This is definitely a rule that at least Kim Kardashian holds herself to. The reason she does not like to be in the bright sunlight is because she is self-conscious about the cellulite on her body. She said that it is a trick of the light and that in bright light you get a full view of everything, including things that she rather people not see. So, Kim will only go out in a bikini when it is overcast. Kim claims that on days that it is not as sunny, people will not be able to see her cellulite; she said she will still know it is there, but no one else will. It is understandable that she wants to try to be in the best lighting for her body, but she is still a beautiful woman regardless and should be proud of her body, her curves, and, yes, even her cellulite. As a matter of fact, Khloe only wears a one-piece suit when out in public. She loves the one-piece trend and she says it really makes her body look good.

Kourtney does not drink soda, eat junk food, or use microwave ovens

Kourtney Kardashian is a major health fanatic. All the Kardashians routinely exercise, and there are video clips constantly being posted on Kourtney and Khloe’s Snapchat of the two of them working out, but out of all the sisters, Kourtney is definitely the healthiest one. She will not allow or tolerate junk food of any kind in her home, so forget even trying to bring soda into the house. She will not even allow diet or calorie-free sodas either. When Kourtney cooks meals for her family, they have to be gluten free, dairy free, and organic. She is very, very strict on what her family can and cannot eat. As for appliances, Kourtney also has a strict rule that there is to never be a microwave or Wi-Fi in her home. The Wi-Fi thing would be enough to drive her mad. We do not know how she does it. She does not allow those things because of the radiation that they allegedly cause. She has never heard of Wi-Fi taking a person’s life before but to each their own. Kim use to eat junk food, but now this type of food makes her sick. Kim has been getting slimmer and she recently told people on Twitter how she did it.

People Really Do Get Paid

With the Kardashians, it is all about the money. If one of them creates a line or product that features another Kardashian in it, the sister that created the product better pay up; that is now a rule for this over-the-top family especially after Kim had created a mobile app game titled, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood; this app has literally made over $100 million. Kourtney was featured in this game, and she was not too happy about that. She sent a cease and desist letter to Kim, via Kris Jenner, stating that if Kim did not remove her character from the game, she was going to file a formal lawsuit against her. A source had said that it was just like being mean to her sister and that Kourtney did not want to be included in the game unless she was going to get paid for it. Where is the sisterly love? Luckily for Kourtney, Kim eventually gave into these demands, and the new family rule was created. If anyone uses any of the sisters in anything, they each pay each other well. The sisters have a net worth of over $10 million each. All of them put together have a collective worth of a little over $122.5 million.

Paparazzi's Never Get Smile Shots

If you look at Kim in the press now, you notice that she is no longer smiling away at the camera. When Kim first became famous, the paparazzi started to follow this infamous Kardashian around everywhere. She said that she used to be very social with them and always smiled for their camera shots. She said that whenever she would go out, no matter where she was going, the paparazzi would stop her and start asking her questions. Should she stop what she was doing, flash them her biggest smile, and then answer their questions and have a conversation with them? Kim said that she used to crave the attention, but that it is not like that anymore. Kim’s best friend Jonathan Cheban had told her that she needs to stop doing all that. He told her she needs to stop smiling and talking to them. Further, he said that she was way too happy. He had her put her sunglasses on and, basically, just ignore the paparazzi as if they were not even there. Kim followed his instructions, and then gradually Kim's family followed her lead. Now, the entire Kardashian clan is supposedly in on the whole no-smiling and no-talking rule when it comes to the paparazzi.

When On Instagram They Follow Strict Rules

Everyone breaks a tiny rule here and there, right? No biggie. Wrong. The Kardashians got busted posting misleading information on Instagram regarding brands that they were paid to promote. Of course, every company wanted the Kardashians to advertise for them, I mean, between all of them, look at how many followers they have across all their social media; they have millions and millions of fans. The family is constantly being approached to advertise and promote this product and that product for someone else. This company called Truth In Advertising, who are also referred to by the acronym TINA, said that these posts were false advertising and deceptive marketing because the Kardashians were failing to make it obvious to their fanbase that they were advertising products that they were posting. This means that they were advertising a product without letting fans know that it was an ad. The Kardashians had to take down over 100 of their endorsement posts because of TINA flagging them for false advertising and deception. This has happened to the family more than once. About a year ago, Kim put a photo on Instagram with an endorsement on a product that helps out with morning sickness without any side effects. The FDA made her take it down. So, from now on, the Kardashians have to play by the rules.

All Cellphones Are Required To Have Extra Security

Privacy is a major issue for celebrities. For the Kardashians, they use their phone for everything. This includes posting on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and sending emails. Their phone communicates with everyone. However, they always have the paparazzi in their faces watching their every move. This leads to their personal accounts getting hacked, and private photos, that no one was meant to see, getting leaked. In 2014, Kim, along with a few other celebrities, fell prey to an Apple iCloud photo leak scandal from a Pennsylvania hacker by the name of Ryan Collins. Collins ended up confessing to committing the offense and is now sitting in a prison cell for the next 18 months. Because of this, all the Kardashians had to up their security measures on their personal cell phones. Most likely, the Kardashians also increased their security on everything else as well. Unfortunately, Kim just seems to have no luck when it comes to stuff getting leaked. First the home movie and then, the photos, both of which have her pictured in things that she does not want the public to see. To prevent further leaks, or to at least make it much more difficult for the outside world to hack their phones, the Kardashian family set the rule of adding multi-layered security to their phones.

They All Wear Make-Up In Public

We do not know how some women can put makeup on day in and day out, and even on days when they just feel bad. We also do not understand how women feel the need to put on makeup before they leave the house every single time. But, this is a strict rule for the Kardashians. What if they only want to go to the corner store that is right down the street or to get the mail? The Kardashian women have a rule set for themselves that they are not allowed to leave the house without some form of makeup on, whether it is just mascara and concealer, they still always have to have something on. They also wear makeup when going to the gym. Just because you work out doesn’t mean you have to look like a slob. We really wonder which one of the Kardashians came up with this rule to try to look flawless at all times. What happens if they just want to run outside really quick, would they still need to put makeup on? Being in the public eye and getting scrutinized for every blemish is tough, we get it. But, those are the things that show and remind us that a person is also human.

They Have Strong Sisterly Bonds

Many people will try to portray the Kardashian sisters as secretly plotting and competing against each other, however reality has shown that the Kardashians are there for each other in the tough and difficult decisions. All five sisters - that’s Kylie, Kendall, Khloe, Kim, and Kourtney - have a special family bond and are always present at each other’s events. We would like to think that they show up for more than just a photo opportunity. From their TV show, we know that there are a lot of harsh truths that comes along with being a Kardashian. It is no secret that these sisters can really hurt each other’s feelings with their raw, unfiltered honesty; regardless of this, it is clear that at the end of the day, they are always there to support each other. We have seen them do these countless times during times of crisis that have included cheating, divorce, emergencies, health scares, pregnancies, and scandals. Plus, we can’t forget about the next generation: Penelope, North, Chicago, Stormi, and baby Thompson. These sisters have to stay strong for their kids, so their legacy can go on and their kids can all carry on the same sense of friendship and family bonding.

Make Sure The Kardashian Name Is Protected

This one may only apply to Rob, who some consider to be the forgotten Kardashian. He may find it hard in the future if he ever settles down and gets married because his sisters will not let him give away the Kardashian name that easily. They may even be extremely rude about it. When Rob was engaged to Blac Chyna, Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe got a court order to keep her from changing her name. I wonder if the sisters would feel better if Rob married within the family, to keep the Kardashian name pure and prevent it from ever being tainted? According to the press, all the sisters said that they would incur damage to their reputation and goodwill if Chyna took on the Kardashian name. The sisters won and were able to protect their name. It is understandable that the sisters want to protect their investment but trying to bar someone from legally changing their name, when they get married, this is taking it a little too far. Maybe it is a good thing that Rob and Blac did not work out because in this way, nobody had to worry about any major legal battles caused by fighting over a last name.

Phone Not Allowed When Eating

It seems like everywhere we go and everything we do, we always see everyone glued to their cell phones; whether it be movies, stores, restaurants, hospitals, banks, or libraries, there is always someone on their phone. We definitely live in the digital generation. Now, people will be in the same house and still text each other instead of walking a few feet to the other room. We would be lying if we said we had never done that. Kim admitted to having a bad cell phone addiction that she never picked up on until Kanye pointed it out to her. They would be in the middle of dinner and she would be sitting there snapping pictures. So, in order to get Kim to live in the moment, Kanye set a major dinner rule: no phones at the dinner table. Kim was more than happy to oblige and follow the rule. Kim said that Kanye is teaching her how to live in the moment, and she is teaching Kanye to stop a little more in order to be able to take pictures. Even at Kim and Kanye’s wedding, they put a cell phone ban into effect for their guests. I guess that is one way to get their guests to be in the here and now.

Inspire dreams

Kim has made a career out of nothing. She has earned millions for simply being beautiful and curvaceous. But, a career of appearances and paid promotions was not always the reality star’s plan. Once upon a time, long before she was a household name, the young Kardashian aspired to be a teacher. That is right, the Armenian beauty was going to devote her life to the education and enrichment of America’s youth. Can you even imagine the glamorous, pop culture icon teaching second graders cursive and California state history? We sure can’t! Sure, she is great with kids, just look at her Snapchats of North, Saint, and Chicago, but we just cannot envision her leading a classroom or teaching times tables. It just does not mesh with her on screen personality at all. The point is this, everyone in the family has dreams and no matter what they are, the family's rule is to inspire greatness, no matter what anyone may want to do in their life. The sisters also get behind each other and support each other with their dreams. Maybe this is why this famous family is so well liked and loved by millions of people around the world.
