  • My roof? It’s hard to burn wood when you don’t have a fireplace. In summer of course we do it outside. But with the density of a city center that means that it’s hard to store enough wood/coal to make meaningful impact on the amount of water you need to boil to cook.

    In winter it would be simply counter productive to go outside and be cold to boil rice.

    It’s simply easier - and safer - to have water for drinking and food for eating.

    Population centers have different needs.







  • And that’s also very fair, i tend to agree with you where parenting is more educating than helicoptering.

    However cities are different, countries are different, norms even, and what might work in Paris, might not work in Dallas, or in Helsinki.

    Also some kids might enjoy having the ability to talk to their parents and don’t see it as an infringement on their freedom, because it’s also how you act on the information you’re given. Others might not. You might even change your opinion if your circumstances change too.

    I’d say, had you said - for my particular situation - I wouldn’t have batted an eye.

    All that said, kids making mistakes and being kept far from monitoring and social media is a good thing 🤓

    And thank you for being cool about this 🤩
