Do you open your windows and shades?

We open shades not windows.
There are very few weeks a year that I'm comfortable without AC or heat.
Maybe my parents spoiled me, but now I have an achrayus to myself to be a good mother and I'm not a good mother if I'm uncomfortable. So thank you Hashem for AC and heat!!

In Brooklyn. I don’t see anyone around me that has screens. Most people have these window gates that kids can sit in.

. We have window gates as well as screens, as do most of the buildings in my neighborhood. The screens were installed with the windows, but if you don't have them, every hardware store has adjustable portable screens that fit any double -hung window. Casement windows (that open on hinges like a door or an old-style mailbox) are a different story..

I open the shades every day, we have a ton of natural light which I love. I grew up with no central air so we always had the windows open… but with central a/c I find that I don’t. My husband hates the windows open, so we generally don’t open them often enough to my liking.

I could have written this!
