Ma'am, My wife put a plan in action to surprise both college kids home for semester break by: 1) replacing each of their boxsprings and mattresses; 2) not telling them beforehand; & 3) questioning each of them the next day after they had awoke. She particularly wanted to determine if they noticed and whether sleep quality had improved. The punch line is this: The daughter was late to her 3 year part-time Physical Therapy (PT) Aid job of 3 yrs for the first time as she slept so well (thru 5 separate alarms) and the son had noticed something odd, like the bed had seemed slightly higher but commented anything was better than the "cardboard like mattresses" provided at his school furnished apartment.
It's the unique caring things done by her and me indirectly, i.e., billpayer, she does that is hard for your kids not to want to come home for holidays versus going with friends to exotic places. Good day Peggy. Thanks. V/r, Nick
