"All that" in this case is used to refer to similar things that go along with parenting rules. "All that" is similar to saying "and so on" or "et cetera", and it is used to indicate that there are similar things that could be listed and included in the sentence but not all are mentioned. Ex: When you finish your homework and all that, we can go. Ex: What are you doing with your furniture and possessions and all that when you move?
