One of the most restricting rules is that presidential kids, and the entire family, aren't allowed to open the windows anywhere in the White House, or in any car they're in.
Although this doesn't sound like a big deal, imagine not being able to get a breath of fresh air whenever you want.
One of the biggest controversies of Donald Trump's presidency was the roles his adult children took in his administration.
However, Ivanka and Jared weren't breaking the law, as it doesn't prevent children from serving as unpaid advisors, which is exactly how they justified their roles at the White House.
This isn't just because of the idea that expensive private schools offer a better education, they're preferred to ensure the safety of the president's children and to eliminate public exposure in a larger setting.
However, it's a rule that can be broken. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter enrolled his nine-year-old daughter, Amy, in a public school in Washington, D.C.
Just like the President of the United States, first ladies and presidents' kids must have Secret Service accompany them whenever they leave the White House.
Like their parents, even former presidential kids must always be accompanied by Secret Service agents, at least until they are 16 years old.
Even though presidential kids shouldn't have official roles in the administration, they're still expected to take part in some of the events at the White House.
One of those events is the White House Easter Egg Roll, which has been around since 1878, when it began under the administration of President Rutherford B. Hayes.
As a child, first daughter Amy Carter was criticized for showing up to a state dinner with books to keep her entertained.
Due to the code of decorum and behavior that's expected, many presidential families after the Carter administration kept their kids out of those official functions as much as they possibly could.
Being part of the first family comes with some perks, like getting presents from visiting dignitaries and other guests.
Sasha and Malia Obama weren't allowed to keep Adidas swag given to them by former German chancellor Angela Merkel.
This rule might not apply to all presidential children, but it was enforced with Sasha and Malia Obama.
For security reasons, the girls never took public transportation, or got to go on joyrides with friends when they were teens.
Without their parents' permission, the president's children won't be dining on the finest steaks or caviar.
A common misconception about living in the White House is that the first family is served an endless amount of fancy food.
It's uncommon nowadays to find a teenager who doesn't have public social media accounts. However, presidents' children are expected to steer clear of public platforms and are requested to keep them private instead.
Since the world watches their every move, it makes sense that they would want to keep what they share online out of the public eye.

In 1967, Congress passed an anti-nepotism law, which "prohibits the president from appointing a family member to work in the office or agency they oversee."
His oldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, was given the role of special advisor to the president, in which she took on many unspecified tasks. Her husband, Jared Kushner, was given the role of the White House Innovations Director.
Unfortunately for them, many gifts to the first family are considered government property and stay at the National Archive.
Attending formal events puts presidential kids in the public eye, and their every action comes under extreme scrutiny.
They also couldn't hold on to national soccer team jerseys autographed by Lionel Messi, gifted by Argentina's president Mauricio Macri.
In fact, they couldn't even be driven around by Barack Obama, since presidents aren't allowed to drive on public roads. The president did, however, let Malia's prom date drive her to the dance (with the Secret Service, of course).
Although it's possible to eat exquisite foods for every meal, the president and first lady are expected to pay the price of the meals they consume.
One can imagine that being the child of the President of the United States isn't exactly an easy role. Yet, the children in the first families have no other option. Having a parent who's the leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world surely comes with its benefits, but being in the spotlight also comes with a lot of pressure and public scrutiny. Just think about all the comments that have been made about Chelsea Clinton, Sasha and Malia Obama, and Barron Trump.
On top of that, presidential children also have to follow a strict set of rules and guidelines that affect everything from how they act in public, to where they go to school, to their daily life at home. Click on for some of the rules the president's children are expected to follow.
