IMHO, Stu has the complete right of this...
 
You have to decide what you want from this game. I play in a home game from time to time where the play is just as sloppy (and gets sloppier as the night goes and and alcohol consumption goes up.).
 
We usually play when there is a PPV boxing match on and get together, split the PPV costs, and play 2, 3, or 4 SNGs. 
 
It is for fun with different folks attending every time. The usual host and I are trying to encourage these people to play more often, so we actually will find someone after a game if they've done something we don't like and explain to them the proper way to do it. But during the game, we generally just let it go.
 
Like Stu said "Whilst poker is a game I take seriously, home games are the poker equivalent of a kick about. When was the last time you saw a kid in a kick about get sent off or given a yellow card? Its just not supposed to be taken that seriously.. its just a bit of fun.

Now large stakes home games should be considereed differently, but to be honest if I were playing a large(ish) stakes game.. id feel a lot safe in a casino where there are figures of authority to enforse rules etc"
 
Translated to American 
kick about = sandlot baseball or pick-up game or basketball
Yellow Card = penalty
