Told kids they could have pool or AC
Has anyone ever told you that it’s difficult being a parent? Right.
- I think we have all heard that a million times before…
And then we sign up to become parents ourselves, and wonder why it’s a difficult battle. I think we could probably all just agree that having children is going to be a life-changing and brain exploding venture for most of us. Currently, I am trying to keep my kids healthy and happy throughout this long and humid summer time that we are stuck with. I swear, this is the hottest and most moist summer on record in our area. We’ve all been suffering through the pounding sun and the sweaty air for a few months now. Our poor air conditioning system has been put through its paces every single day, and I am dreading the amount of wear and tear that we have added onto our cooling system. When my kids started complaining that they were still too hot and they wanted a swimming pool I almost lost it. I decided, they can either have the swimming pool… Or they can have air conditioning. Take your pick. If they want to sleep without any cooling system operating in the household, I am more than happy to let them have a pool. If they still want us to operate the AC unit to keep the house cold every day, we have to keep money available for energy bills and HVAC appointments. When the kids couldn’t make up their minds between the AC unit and swimming pool, I told them to fill up the bathtub and make the best of it.
