[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just re: the lights.... this is a quirk people may have inherited from their parents but is totally irrelevant now. LED bulbs use so little electricity that they last for something like 20 years. Our many electronics use a ton of power, but lights just don’t. [/quote]

How does that translate to teaching manners to kids? Are we now as a society deciding that kids no longer need to care about leaving lights on when they leave a room for an extended period? Just leave their bedroom lights on while they're in school? It's a legitimate question for a married couple. If the answer is no, we want to teach children to remember to turn off lights,[b] then each spouse has an obligation to demonstrate that behavior. [/b]

Honestly, it sounds like you are wound up a little too tight.

Times have changed, led bulbs use so much less electricity it's not an issue. If you want to teach your kids to continue to conserve electricity to help stop waste, that's great. I still turn off lights for that reason.
It's not "rude" behavior not to turn out lights. [/quote]

+1, you're married to your spouse not raising them. Expecting them to be perfect is not a winning strategy and honestly this gives me th e image of you following your spouse around waiting for them to 'demonstrate bad behavior' so you can complain.

Honestly we expect too much perfection out of kids, and that is evident when you are a spouse and see how hard it is to hold anyone to such rigid standards of appropriate behavior. [/quote]
