[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, then each spouse has an obligation to demonstrate that behavior.

???? How TF is it "bad manners" to leave your lights on in your bedroom? [/quote]

Because it's wasteful if you're gone for an extended period, and it only takes a second for you to turn it off. No one cares if you leave your lights on during dinner, but if you leave it on while you're at work or school then you're being wasteful. https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/save-electricity-and-fuel/lighting-choices-save-you-money/when-turn-your-lights[/quote]
