Periodically I wonder about people, namely, I wonder if my teenager is out of his damn mind, because he sure doesn’t know how to act appropriately.
It’s as if he has no concept of consequences, & just assumes he can go through the world acting like an ass if he so chooses.
Well, that’s not how it works out on planet Earth, & it really isn’t how things are going to be run in my own household, I can tell you that. This little snot decided that he was immune to helping out with home chores last week, for example. When I lectured him on home responsibilities he ran off & locked his door. I let him sulk & figured I would deal with his excruciating attitude the next day. When I woke up the next afternoon, but, I found that the home was horrifyingly cold. Rather than worrying about my son, I had to deal with the thermostat. I went down the hallway & checked the temperature control device, expecting that the ambient temperature had been changed on accident. Instead, I found that the smart thermostat unit couldn’t connect to the central heating device. The touch screen monitor indicated that there was a power outage on the end of the boiler, & I was completely puzzled over the heating device. I figured that before calling a ventilation professional I would go inspect the power source myself & located the power box out in the garage. I was surprised to find the furnace switch was flipped off… How could only the boiler be affected by a power outage? That’s when I realized my son was already out of the home & put two & two together. That little shit, blatantly he was still so warm headed in the afternoon that he attempted to freeze me out.
