Okay, but your parents had just as many light switches growing up. > But knowing and always remembering to do it are two different things. I also forget to turn them off sometimes. What is "sometimes"? You wrote "I'd have to spend half an hour a day traveling around the house turning off light switches countless times" which is definetly not normal and a clear case of your parenting not working. I also "sometimes" forget a light. About once a year, tops. I don't see how this isn't your brains failing to manage a very basic every day task.
