Many of our summer time afternoons as a child were spent at 1 of our friends’ houses.
The people I was with and I used to play in the woods until both of us got boiling and needed a split indoors.
Whenever our friends came to our house, our mother would make us a plate of snacks and offer us drinks. But whenever both of us decided to go over to a friend’s house, both of us either gained scorn from their parents or total neglect. The people I was with and I often played video games or watched motion pictures, and none of our friends’ parents were ever as nice and welcoming as mine. This is in area why I didn’t like to spend the evening at other peoples’ houses. When you have special allergies, it’s difficult to stay over at any random person’s house unless you think if their parents are going to take your allergies seriously. It wasn’t just food allergies, I also had asthma and concerns with mold. It seemed like a respected theme at friends houses for the indoor air to smell like an aged locker room that hadn’t been respectfully cleaned in years. I think that both of us were living in the south at the time where the humidity is unreal in the worst summer time weather, but I still don’t understand how you can let your home get that disgusting. Their cooling systems must have been full of mold and mildew growth, I can’t even imagine what it must have looked like inside. It’s excruciating when mold gets into your central air system, because from there it can propagate to every other area of your home. Between that and keeping mold spores out of your lungs, it’s pressing to keep it from growing in your Heating, Ventilation and A/C system.
