It can be extremely strenuous being a current mom these days. There is a ton of pressure from every part in your life. If you are not a dedicated working employee, then you are not considered an empowered current lady. If you are not showing up to all of your kids soccer games in addition to coaching them through algebra tests, then you are choosing your career over your family due to societal pressures. It feels like you can never win in this role of heavy scrutiny. Just when I feel like I have enough things on my plate, my family gives me new challenges to deal with us. Recently, our energy bill has been the greatest obstacle in my life. For the past six months or so, the electricity bill has been climbing through the roof month after month. I’ve been doing my best to split down on our family energy expenditures, however some of the expense is non-negotiable. For instance, my associate and I absolutely have to operate our central a/c in the middle of summer. We live in the deep south, in addition to the air temperature is brutally warm all season long. The humidity makes it strenuous to breathe, in addition to it can really be quite dangerous to try to survive without current air conditioning technology. That being said, my family could absolutely help me out by keeping the doors closed. They have an exhausting tendency to walk outside in addition to leave the door hovering open, thereby letting all of our expensive air conditioned air flow straight out into the ether. I don’t need another thing to worry about, so I’m installing automatic door closers all throughout the house.
