My son is the strangest.
- He’s a goaltender for our highschool team and he’s pretty dang good.
He’s always about hockey and trying to be the best goaltender that he can be. He practices and does pick up games outside of playing for the school a few times a week. On top of that he also works for the local fast food restaurant. I’m proud of what he’s trying to accomplish. He wants to continue doing this in college and take it further if possible. He has caused some frustration with me with it as well. I don’t want to crush his dreams so in a way I let some things slide but if he wants to mess with the air conditioning that is where I draw the line. He wants to be in the elements of feeling the cold like he does on the rink at home. I don’t know what this accomplishes but he does it. I remember coming home and the central air was set so high I felt like I was on the ice of the hockey rink. I had some words with him but I can’t stay angry at him. I did buy him an air conditioner unit to put in his window so he can mess with the temperatures in there if he wishes. Just in case I reached out to the heating and cooling company and had a smart thermostat installed from a HVAC expert. I’m never coming home and dealing with the extreme cold again. If my son wants to sit in a freezer all the time then he can do that in his bedroom.
