Living at home like hotel

I wake up this morning, thinking about why sometimes parents tell their kids off by saying:”Do you think you are staying in a hotel ????.

In fact, there are similarities when we take things as granted.
At Home: 24 hours access with a key, anytime you want, as long as you are the member of the house.

At Hotel: 24 hours access with a key, anytime you want, as long as you are the customer of the hotel.


At Home: You walk in your room, do your own thing, no speaking to anyone, though there COULD BE SOMEONE at home.  Anyway, it does not matter.

At Hotel: You walk in your room, do you own thing, no speaking to anyone, and there is NO ONE anyway.  Anyway, it does not matter.


At Home: You go to the kitchen, if dinner is there, you have it.  If not, you make your own dinner.  Either way, dirty dishes stay in the sink.  There is always someone to make dinner and clean the mess.

At Hotel: You call your room service, have your dinner, leaving the dirty dishes out the door.  There is always someone to make dinner and clean the mess.
 
At Home: It never crosses your mind the need to do any housework.  Mum/siblings will do it.  Better still, some will have their maids to do it.

At Hotel: It never crosses your mind the need to make your bed and tidy up your room.  There is always hotel staff to do it.

 
At Home: You don't take rubbish out.  It could be full with awful smells but it stays where it is with its lit.  Someone will empty it at their own time.

At Hotel: You don't take rubbish out. It could be full with awful smells. But it stays where it is with its lit, the housekeeping staffs will empty it with set schedule.


At Home: You do what you like, anytime you want.  There is no need to report to anyone. You may just INFORM your parents you will be late, only if you want to.

At Hotel: You do what you like, anytime you want.  There is no need to report to anyone.  You just INFORM the hotel staff to keep message for you, only if you want to. 

Interesting... isn't it?
