My oldest boy wants to go out and play in the snow. I tried to explain that he's in the middle of eating his dinner, it's dark, he's got his wellies on the wrong feet and he's got no trousers on. He wasn't convinced by my argument.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

Nit picking, rather than an argument as such, hmm?
@B3 worry that you're losing it? Or worry that you may set the house on fire? If the former - nah. Until you're having 2 way conversations with the tea towel, I don't think it's a concern. On the latter point, well, perhaps

I think Wild Edges should have a separate thread for the trials and tribulations of bringing up young children. It would make it much easier to have a laugh with/at them. All those in favour.....
Ok this is a long term gripe but here it is. HE'S IN THE WINDOW AGAIN. I better explain. About this time last year, our neighbor over the back, set up a treadmill in front of the back bedroom bay window. It was obvious because he always wears a bright red T shirt when he's on it. Then a couple of months in he moved it and set up a desk right in the window. The thing is, we use our back bedroom as our main one. When we had our extension, we had a shower room put in the room. Now that we are retired, and as there isn't much we can do at the moment, we don't always get going very early. Sometimes after a leisurely breakfast we might not go for a shower till 9:30 or so 😱 Such decadent behaviour I know. The thing is given that we can see him so clearly can he see us ? Our house is higher than theirs (we're on a bit of a hill here). There's nothing we can do, it's just disconcerting when you open the bedroom curtains & the first thing you see is him sat in the window on the phone.
Surely he can't actually see into your shower? But yes, nets or just keep the curtains closed until you're dressed. And ignore him, the poor sod's probably working at home and just trying to have a nice view out of his window from his desk.

I take the view (see what I did there 😉) that if someone watches me drinking my morning ☕️ in bed or changing my sweater or whatever, then they deserve all the shock/horror they get 😱 😝
