Why do you want your children to learn fairytales OP ? I really feel sorry for them.

My electricity was $601.

Tv and computer on near all day everyday.

Air con all day and night when needed.

No dishwasher or dryer

May I interupt the stoning to ask Moorna12 a question.

You state you don't worry about the electricity cost because you have installed solar panels. I was under the impression you are the richest person on ebay. Didn't you accumulate great wealth from a transport empire? Never have to work again. Buy your own tropical island type wealth??

We raised our son very differently. We encouraged him to think for himself, take risks, and trust his own judgement. He knew that we were always there to pick up the pieces and to back his judgement. He now takes great delight in telling friends that he was raised feral. But this feral was a barrister at 30, has 2 international patents and several other degrees. All of which he did because he wanted to do. As far as we were concerned be could have been a Garbo. I guess what I am saying is to trust your child and give them room to breathe.

I like this thread.

Religion, food, tv, parenting and education all wrapped up in an electricity account

i wish to discuss your love of triangles.

is it a fetish or just a admiration?

Where is the like button when you need one.

I read fairytales when I was a kiddie, Grimm's Fairytales that is.

Maybe the kids should use candles when doing their bible study at night, I think that would be more fitting from both an ecclesiastical and power consumption viewpoint.

Seems some can say what they like on these boards when others can't!

So much for ' Fair go' and balanced discussion 😐

It is only a balanced discussion if you agree with the Button Pushers and as for a Fair Go....these are the ebay boards...enough said.;-)
