Edge

“Or do we often scowl and scold, admonish and complain, so the picture we present of ourselves at home is that of boss, mentor and disapprover?” (ODAT, 2 November)

Yes, a thousand things are being done wrong, but even pointing out one a day puts everyone else on edge for a week.

One simply has to let things be as they are.

They can be changed, but should they?

The price of my interference is other people’s ability to relax.
