Everyone always says that your children’s first five years we’ll go by incredibly fast.
The next thing you know, they will be full-blown kids who dislike you, then you’ll spend the next ten years dealing with unfathomable emotional responses & hormonal outbursts.
I have to say, I actually didn’t assume that this was going to be the case with my daughter. She enjoyed me so much as a child that I couldn’t foresee our relationship degrading while in her difficult teenage years. And I was completely wrong. Now that she is a teenager, everyday is a challenge. The smells alone are enough to supply me a migraine. You see, my kid has developed a penchant for pungent, floral, sweet perfumes. She’s continually ruining our indoor air by dousing her bathroom with airborne contamination in the form of cheap colognes. As soon as the smelly indoor air reaches our air return vents, we are doomed for the central heating & cooling system to disperse the smells throughout the entire house. The poor Heating & Air Conditioning system is just doing its task, efficiently transferring air throughout the entire house, unluckyly, it results in lower quality indoor air & respiratory distress for those of us who are sensitive to airborne toxins. I grew so exhausted of developing painful migraines & allergy symptoms because of her cheap attempts at air fresheners that I eventually called out an Heating & Air Conditioning worker for help. I had her room detached from the central heating & cooling system & my associate and I installed a mini split ductless heating & cooling device instead. Now, she can smell up her room as much as she wants & the rest of us don’t have to suffer.
