I would install sensor lightings in the next house - save me from nagging.

Leaving the lights on repeatedly - I should just off it and not tell the absentminded person?
Am I encouraging bad habits?
Is that me?no la hor? 我没有那么好脾气lor...
I recently have similar issue with tofu boy too. Like forgetting the water heater (to switch off), toilet light (to off), leaving his hanky in the school uniform (shd take out so that it will be laundered like another piece of garment). ... So, what is evil mummy doing leh?![]()

I fine him! Every time he forgets, I get $0.50 out of his piggy bank.
I have different standards for husband vs kids. For husband, he is a grown man, and unless it's something that inconveniences me directly, I will let it go. If he runs out of something or has to pay a higher bill, that's for him to decide how to handle it. But for kids, I feel I have a responsibility to teach, so I will be like imami - if reminders don't work, then I will punish/fine. So far, I have threatened but haven't actually had to as they will correct themselves. But I also try to decide what things are less important and to let go - if it's something wasteful like not turning off lights, I will take action, but if it's a messy desk, I will let go.

To me, it is not only paying a higher bill, but I feel a social responsibility towards conserving energy.
I will bundle up newspapers, sort the rubbish into plastic vs paper, bag them separately and bring down to the recycle bins.
He does not think these are worth doing.
I guess as years go by, our differences become more obvious.
Sometimes I feel he sees a problem, walks away from it, since I am around to handle it.

Yes, the pitch was changed. It is by the same lady, Dear Cloud. Similar to the other song with two versions that I posted (which you don't like).
