Too scary mto think how much I would be cut off from my cyber life! You're right about the aspect of teaching our kids respect. Just as long as I remember bot to abuse it.<br /><br />Toni, I know, because my dad still has the tv in his basement, that we used to have to get up to change channels. I've just blocked out the memory. :)<br /><br />LOL Kate. In fact, I have. It's kinda disconcerting. And no, I did not sanitize my hands after opening the door. I liven on the edge! Muahahahah! (although I do wonder if people think the automatic button is magic and doesn't carry germs the way the door handle most assuredly must...)<br /><br />Cassie, there is a man in our house. I only get the remote when he's out, or sleeping. (and sometimes, not even then. Changing the channel wakes him up!

I can't count the times ours has gone missing over the years and rather than take three or four steps across the room (our old living room really was that small) and simply change stations, my husband and children would search the entire house to find the damn remote. <br /><br />And, I totally agree with you on the use and abuse of kids. We had em for a reason, slave labor seems like a good one.

Everything was automated, except the door (no door to the hallway, instead a curvy entrance to prevent peepers from seeing in). And everything automated was broken. If I'd had my cell phone handy, I would have taken a picture because it was hilarious. So, on the counter, they had paper towels in baskets and bottles of liquid soap. The water might have still worked, but the signs were there.<br /><br />My daughter has the corner on laziness sometimes. There have been mornings when her "legs won't work" and she collapses onto the ground because she's "too tired" to walk to school. Last night when she discovered I wasn't going to shower with her, she melted in a puddle in the hall. She was prone, face first, on the floor saying, "I'm too tired to move." This after she'd raced at top speed from one end of the house to the other. Suddenly, she can't move. <br /><br />HAHAHAHAHA<br /><br />We just ignored her. She eventually got up. (g)<br /><br />If people are worried about touching handles, get some toilet paper and use that. (g) I've done it numerous times, especially after seeing someone leave without washing their hands.

We grumbled when we were kids about having to get up and--GASP!--actually turn the dial to a different tv station. We muttered under our breath when Dad would say make me a sandwich or mom would tell us to go get her a glass of pop.<br /><br />But now we do the same thing to our children, lmao! On the flip side, tho, it teaches kids to respect and obey their parents too.<br /><br />I often worry what will happen when there's a magnetic pulse or some sort of disaster that kills anything electronic.
