He was always complaining about how cold it is in our house. My comment Wear more clothes and some socks. Wish more kids appreciated the things they do have.
I couldn't agree more...I have a 21 year old who is always cold, I tell him & my husband: "put a sweathshirt on"! I grew up in a cold house in northern midwest & we always had socks, sweaters & blankets around us when it was chilly weather. My husband is a Calif. native & has never lived where it's cold. They like to walk around in T-shirts & crank up the heat and AC. We have a regular "dualing thermostat" issue @ our house, as I pay the bills. It really does no good to have a programmable thermostat if everyone's just going around turning it up in winter & down in summer. It is set at a reasonable setting, just doesn't end up that way when the rest are home.
My grandma's old quilts (made in the 10's to the 30's) weren't that heavy, and seemed quite flat (not those mid-century puffy ones) but were wonderful to sleep under. I inherited 2 & feel very blessed!
