My hubby only says Don't fuss at me because he knows he's wrong. That is like one rule I am adamant about. There are so many things I remember that he likes or doesn't like it's the least he can do is not wear shoes in the house. I know which of his coffee cups are his favorites and when I make him coffee I always remember to give him a favorite. All kinds of crazy things like that I remember.
We have sandy soil where we live. When we tore up half the carpeting in the house for the renovation there was a ton of sand under the padding. I don't want that to happen with our new carpet. Plus I am barefoot in the house almost always. If you have heard of the story "The Princess and the Pea" well that's me but with bare feet and dirt. There can be one tiny, teeny speck of dirt on the floor and I will feel it when I step on it. I don't want to walk on dirt in my home.
I either wear my work boots outside, which are easy because I usually just slip them on. I only tie them if I'm doing something where I want to know my footing is secure like climbing a ladder. Or I will wear my flip flops outside. I work in the garden with flip flops because I always get dirt in my shoes in the garden anyway. This way I can scrub them and my feet off at the hose before coming in.
I'm sure when we get chickens I'll buy boots for that. The rain boots make sense.
I'm not a total jerk though about it. Under certain circumstances not taking off shoes is ok. If he got hurt and needed first aid I wouldn't fuss.
