All I hear when my mother gets to the household is, “Why does he do this?” I should be saying that she yells, “What, again!” The lady gets pretty frustrated after toil after a long day of work.
It’s mainly how the settings of the thermostat are set at.
But there are other variable things. She has mainly said she will get a smart thermostat installed if she has to because she has been working in a freezer all day plus when she is at the household, she doesn’t have the desire to be in an air-conditioned environment. I feel that is unfair to us because it’s extremely hot outside plus the air quality of this household isn’t bad. I don’t say much because I don’t spend my savings on the bills. I learned that lesson a long time ago plus she will turn her frustration towards me if I do say anything. Last time I said something about what I preferred to watch on cable, she took cash out of my allowance stating, “Money for cable usage.” So I will never say anything again because I need my lousy ten dollar a week check. Still, her getting frustrated isn’t appropriate plus maybe she should just get a portable space furnace if she doesn’t like the feeling of the household when she gets home. Or, she could just spend time outside or I don’t know, figure it out? I believe if I was in her shoes I’d feel the same but I’m actually not. I know I have to keep an open mind but at the same time, she can be a little more respectful plus consider what she is saying.
