Writer's Block: Small Economies

[martelvonc]

[Error: unknown template qotd]Temperature regulation in my house is a challenge. My family want to wear shorts in the winter and parkas in the summer but I am training them in no uncertain terms. I keep the A/C at 78 in the summer and the heat at 58 in the winter. Put the proper clothes on people and stop your whining!

58 in the winter . . . wow. I have hypothyroidism, and I'd freeze in your house!

We actually keep it slightly warmer than we used to so we don't freeze the child - @70. With a heat pump, that means it's 65 or 66 in the bedrooms. Before her, we'd keep it 68 at night (it would be 64 in the bedroom).

I really had to put my foot down. In the middle of winter the family would literally sit around in shorts and t-shirts.

Now they wear *gasp!* jeans and a sweatshirt or sweater! and oh the horror, socks too!

I am such a mean mom! lol!!
