Mostly yes, I think that pretty much if not every country outside of the USA has this as a regular house rule or at least I'd hope so.

Needed to text parents (at least one) that you were in school and that you had arrived home from school.
I'd hope so too, shoes in the house is just dirty imo

When I was younger yes, not anymore

Need to send parents updates of where you are/when you'll be back if you go out

Mandatory instrument practice. No soft drinks ever. No shoes in house. You eat only what you're given.

I've never drank a coke in my life (courtesy of the no soft drink rule)

You need to answer yes/no to the last question/rule so might want to edit your/this response.

Yes for the instrument and shoes one, no for the rest.

You can't move out until you're married.
