we remove our shoes at home and at every house we visit, even if they wear shoes inside. Actually both girls will not enter a house with their shoes one, and if they do by accident they freak out until their shoes are taken off..

I prefer it if people take their shoes off before coming into our house, and I make it visible and well known that thats what we prefer, shame the in-laws never get the idea even though Ive told othem over and over again over the years.

Its part of our family rules too
I agree, my family are the same.....as are the in-laws and their house is the only place I try to encourage my children to keep their shoes on...their floor is always covered in dirt and they even walk inside with the same shoes that they wear in the chook pen!
