[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never touch anyone‘s thermostat as a guest. So not your place. My MIL does this. Waits until we go to bed and jacks it up to 75. We keep it below 70 at night. I have hot flashes and my husband sleeps hot. I get so angry. Their house is hideously hot when we visit but I would never touch their thermostat. It’s their house, if they want it to be 77, their prerogative. [/quote] Totally understand that you don't want her touching your thermostat. BUT, you need to be a better hostess. If your guests are cold (remember that older people have a hard time with homeostasis/temperature regulation) and supply her with an electric blanket that she can control. You are going through hot flashes, so don't assume that everyone else will need the same temperature as you. Some kindness, please.[/quote] I’m perfectly kind to my MIL. I’ve known her since she was in her late 40s. She has done this long before I was menopausal and long before anyone would consider her old. We provide plenty of blankets. It’s never enough. She even needs her head to be at 75+ at all times. Going to their house is like sleeping in the dessert. So we get a hotel because it’s so hot. They should do the same, not jack the thermostat in someone else’s house to 75 degrees at night! We don’t keep our house that high durn the day even, so wasteful.[/quote]
