I know that I can be a bit of an overprotective parent.
I have been hearing this my entire life.
Even when I was a little kid and I worked on pets… I am told that it was overboard. I would periodically lie awake with baby birds to make sure that they were going to make it. As an adult, I have treated my pets the same way. When I had my own children, my entire family joked that I was never going to sleep again. To be fair, I have figured out how to sleep at night. However, I do have an advanced security system installed in my cabin so that I can keep an eye on everybody at all times. Recently, I also decided to replace our indoor air handling component to be equally high tech. I had one concern when I was arranging the professional heating and cooling appointment, though. I needed to make sure that my daughters were out of the cabin when the central heating and cooling specialist arrived. This might sound insane, however I don’t need any muscle-bound tradesmen influencing my daughters. When I was setting out the professional heating and cooling appointment, I made sure it would be a morning when my daughters were out of the house. That way, my friend and I could walk around and look at the air conditioner unit, forced air boiler, insulation, and HVAC ducts without the distraction of two barely clothed youngsters prancing around. Lord knows, they would be in appreciate with the Heating and A/C servicemans at first sight. Occasionally I worry that being an overprotective helicopter parent has the opposite effect I was hoping for.
