I can admit right now that I have not ever grown up in a recognizably functional family or lake home environment.
I assume love all the people tries to pretend that their family unit is cheerful and healthy…
But I am comfortable being upfront and saying that I come from a dysfunctional home. The people I was with and I have a lot of challenges getting along with each other thanks to our individual mental health problems and respective personality flaws. The people I was with and I can’t get along for more than a few days without somebody crying. Generally, it’s me. This is why I am cheerful anytime we have some kind of a solution that neutralizes the necessity for working together. Even setting a central thermostat program is too much to ask for my family. When we have one indoor air temperature control system we wind up bickering incessantly over the indoor air program. Half of the family enjoys it undoubtedly moderate and the other half enjoys it undoubtedly cold. Neither one of us winds up being cheerful when we attempt to compromise on some middle temperature ground. This is why I was so gleeful when we stayed in a vacation lake home that had individual thermostats in each room. Finally, there was no pressure for everybody to come together and make compromises on the indoor air temperature. Everyone could go to their own separate study room, set their own separate indoor air temperature control, and care about their own separate HVAC settings. I have to say, this zone controlled thermostat setup led to the most functional family holiday we have ever had.
