The Australian Dictionary of Invisible Culture for Teachers
it’s my place, I decide what can’t happen
attitude: some people can think like this (see more)
Many people in Australia think like this about a place (their house):
I can do many things in this place as I want, other people can’t do the same.
If I want something to happen in this place, other people can’t say something like this to me: ‘I don’t want this to happen in this place.’
If someone says to me ‘I don’t want this to happen in this place,’ I can say ‘I want this to happen here.’”
"We will eat dinner at the dining table. It's serve yourself."
"If it's alright with you, we will watch the football final before dinner."
