I remember my dad telling me to turn off the light when l left a room and it worked very well!

It can be a battle! Thanks so much for sharing this!

That is a bit like telling your teenage son not to have 15 minute showers1 lol!!!

lol good luck with this its a battle

When I was a kid my dad drilled into Me to turn off the light so I’m so used to it. I now do that to my kids. Good luck.

I wake up, sit up and open the blinds, then I go into the lounge and dining rooms and open the blinds. They all look at me like I’m the crazy one!!! … I hear you 🙂

  ha ha good one. i don’t know….

A pet peeve for a few households by the sounds! Hope its a quickly passing memory lapse phase!

lol yes i know the feeling. i be the power lord and go switch everything off but i only have littlies

You’re not missing anything! It’s just the norm! I’ve read them the riot act so often, I’m hoarse! So, now I’ve resorted to bribery! Explaining that switching off the lights saves us money, which will mean I will have more to spend on them! Lol!

    I really like this type of bribery!

It is an age old question and the answer is still being pondered! 😉 I just give them a little flick as I walk by! 🙂

yep couldn’t of said it better. open those roller shutters

Yes same in our household but I explained to them this month we are going to make an effort and the kids are doing not to bad so far. Hoping it will last.

When you get the answer to that question I can’t wait to here it either.. Everyone other than me in my household seem to like artificial light more than natural light
