So your kids are in charge at your house? If they wear whatever they want, do they eat whatever they want, go to bed whenever they want, say whatever they want?

OMG seriously? Why should my child, who runs hot, have to dress uncomfortably? Have you met a middle school boy yet?

I grew up in Wisconsin. What's "cold" to you is nothing to me

The cold doesn't bother me anyway!

While not taking it to the lunatic fringe of flip flops and tee shirts in the weather we're about to face I deliberately
underdress because I'm a candyass who hopes to toughen myself up a bit at a time. Over twenty years there's
been visible progress in both fitness and endurance. i regularly walk distances you'd drive for the same reason.

Ditto. I only wear a coat if outside for extended periods.

My soon to be teen was walking the dog this morning in a t-shirt. He hates to be warm and he has super low body fat. We coexist during DL by him being in shorts and t-shirt and me with sweater, wool socks and ugg slippers.

Same here. I’d be thrilled if we only had spring, fall, and winter. HATE summer.

Hot flashes.. My body is a furnace and a coat is miserable.

I still get stabby sometimes seeing completely unseasonal wears, like wearing sandals when it's 20 degrees out. One time I was waiting for a bus in New England in the dead of winter, and this young woman saunters up in her shorts. Meanwhile I'm shifting on my feet to keep warm. If you don't like bulky clothes, at least put on light weight long pants or something in winter. Seeing shorts on cold days is just really jarring and bizarre.

It is beyond “jarring and bizarre” that you feel people must dress in a way that suits you. It’s almost funny how weird this is.

I think everyone has a different tolerance for temperature. Also, thin people get colder. I freeze at about 70 degrees. I’m that person who always (even in August) has a sweater with me for theaters, restaurants, and shopping. I hate being cold. But, I am fine in 100 degree, humid weather. When we lived in Florida the heat never bothered me. I can run outdoors on the hottest days and be fine. I practice power yoga in a studio heated to 106 with no problem.

My DH is the opposite. He loves cooler weather. Today he had on cargo shorts and a sweatshirt. Florida was tough for him. He doesn’t handle heat well at all.

It just doesn’t get to me. I feel like we haven’t had real winter in like 2 years.

But I am miserable in the summer.

You look completely stupid with bare legs in the late fall.

You seem like a bitter person and with your legs, please cover them up.

What’s completely stupid is to not accept that people are different.

I love how stating my opinion bothers you so much.

Stupidity, unnecessary judgment, blowhard tendencies, doubling down when you are wrong -- they are all bothersome.

I'm guessing you are pretty happy, so, yay?
