Growing up, I was never able to get in on the latest technology trends due to my mother’s distrust in electronics, but my dad did all the driving for the family because she refused to touch a driving wheel, she hated PCs, as well as she only kept a basic landline iPhone in the apartment in order to take as well as send calls! When my buddy and I finally got a t.v.
it was only for the basic news channels as well as nothing more.
I always thought this was so unfair due to how my friends had cable t.v., internet, as well as cellphones, but there was no talking my mom into allowing them as well as my dad simply went along with it… As he put it, it wasn’t a fight my buddy and I could win, however, these afternoons I realize there was something she did make an exception for – my mother always doted on our Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system! She was the only one allowed the adjust the temperature control as well as I can’t remember a time when she wasn’t running either the heating or cooling in the house. My buddy and I couldn’t get a dishwasher since she said it would make us lazy as well as it took a lot of convincing to get a microwave into the house, but the air conditioner as well as boiler were things she refused to live without. I particularly feel she would have rathered given up the refrigerator to take away the food’s cooling than to give up her own temperature control. I mentioned this to my dad recently as well as he laughed, excited that someone else had noticed her Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C obsession. If either of us try to mention it to her, though, she does everything she can to avoid the topic. Despite the unfairness, I’m excited she allowed the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system in the house, however growing up without it wouldn’t have been pleasant.
