I can teach a lesson (piano) at 11:00 AM without worrying that someone will come staggering down the stairs in his boxers scratching his behind.

I can fix healthy meals and no one complains “ew, what’s this crap?”

I don’t wake up in the morning and enter my family room and wonder “what little brownies have been having a party in here last night?”

The laundry basket doesn’t smell like a fermentation vat anymore.
