Our water bill is included in the rent, the amount we use doesn’t affect it, so I could do that. I don’t because why would I, but I could.
However, on a couple occasions I have opened just the hot water tap in the bathroom and let it run for 15 minutes, doors open, to steam up the air. It was winter, very cold, and air moisture content was like 15%, extremely dry.
Most people evolve and figure out what works for discipline and what doesn’t.
Others just beat the shit out of everyone who annoys them including their own kids, and then wonder why those kids grow up to either be massive douchebags, or cut contact with their parents as soon as they can.
