As my kids get older, I find myself shuffling them around to odd extracurricular activities and spending a lot of time “waiting” for them to be done.
- Over the years, I have found that some extracurriculars supply better waiting spaces for parents.
I’ll admit that I’ve been guilty of trying to persuade my kids to participate in the activities with the better waiting areas because there is nothing worse than resting in a cold, dark, room for forty several minutes every morning. One of my preferred places to take my kids is to their piano lessons because the waiting area is extremely comfortable. While my children are practicing piano, I can sit on a big couch, there is plenty of natural morninglight, and there’s a ductless mini split unit that I have control over. My kids have been playing piano for so long that I have a routine down. Once they meet with their piano instructor, I go straight to the waiting room and adjust the temperature on the ductless mini split unit. I turn the a/c to 68 degrees because I’ve found that it’s the perfect temperature. It doesn’t take long for the ductless mini split unit to get the room to 68 degrees and I’m able to relax on the substantial couch while I wait. Because of this, I’ve tried undoubtedly hard to keep my kids interested in piano. Knowing this skill is undoubtedly great, but I don’t guess they’ve caught on that I undoubtedly just adore the waiting room most here.
