I think that we are going through a particular period of time when it comes to the kids.
This is a fact that I understand and can accept as logical.
Yet, I still am just barely dealing with the behavior of my children lately. They are in their early teens and just are mean to each other and border on being disrespectful to my wife and I. We live in such a nice house with quality heating and air and a pool among many other amenities. But the kids are consistently complaining. And when they’re not complaining, they’re fighting. Finally, my wife and I took a couple of afternoons to discuss real solutions to these problems. We started with moving everyone around. The girls would no longer share a room and there just wouldn’t be a guest room. We moved into our son’s outdated room and moved him to the end of the house. That helped a good deal with the fighting. We then focused on a single of the greatest complaints and that was the temperature control setting. Nobody could agree on the degree of heating and cooling. So we solved that complication with a call placed to the Heating and A/C supplier. The Heating and A/C professional came out to tweak our Heating and A/C component so we could appreciate zone controlled Heating and A/C. There are now 5 separate Heating and A/C zones in the house so everyone can set there own temperature control. That too was a good transport on our part. The house is much more peaceful now. And I happen to really like having the zone controlled Heating and A/C in the house outside of stopping that argument.
