it’s my place, I decide what other people can do

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 in this place. If I don’t want someone to do something in this place, this person can’t do it.”

"In Bill's home, he can sit wherever he wants, including on the table or on the bench. Mark is Bill's guest. Mark can't do the same things as Bill unless Bill says 'you can do this'."

"Better ask Jenny if you can put your feet on the couch."
