Tosefta for Bekhorot 60:35

רבן שמעון בן גמליאל אומר

But R'Simeon B'Gamaliel says: His sons and the members of his family are also required to accept [these obligations] in the presence of three haberim, because the case of a haber who accepts [these obligations] is not on a par with the case of the son of a haber<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The father, a haber, will be more strict, as he publicly accepted in the presence of three haberim the obligations involved, whereas the son of a haber only sees his father practise these laws. Another interpretation is as follows: The reason, according to the first Tanna quoted above, why the sons and the members of the family of a haber are not required to accept these obligations is because the family of a haber actually seeing these levitical laws observed at home, are not suspected of disregarding them and therefore there is no necessity for them to accept these obligations in the presence of three haberim.');"><sup>15</sup></span>

Tosefta Demai

[With respect to one who] comes to take upon himself [the obligations of a chaver, see Minchat Yitzchak here], if he had always [lit. "from the beginning"] acted modestly, we accept him, and afterwards we teach him [the strictures applicable to the chaverim], and if not (i.e., if he had not always been modest), we teach him first, and afterwards we accept him. [Rabbi Shimon says, either way we accept him first and then we teach him (per the GR"A)], and we lead him (i.e., impart the halachot on him) like so: [First] we accept him regarding "wings" (the ritual washing of hands before eating, see Y. Dem. II.3.7), and after than we accept him regarding "purities" (eating ritually clean food, ibid.). And if [at that point] he said, "I don't take this (i.e., "purities") upon myself, but only "wings," we still accept him. If he takes upon himself "purities" but does not take upon himself "wings," then he is not [considered] trustworthy. How long until we accept him [as a chaver]? Beit Shammai say, 30 days as to [matters of impurity involving] liquids, 12 months as to [the impurity of] clothing. And Beit Hillel say, 30 days for both.
