Political differences are nothing. Try living with a person with a completely different thermoregulation. That’s seriously hard.
Before we had a kid, N would always go to a conference in his field in February. I’d immediately turn off the heating and open all windows for the duration of the conference. My optimal indoor temperature is 62°F year round. His is 75°F. We meet in the middle but it’s not easy.
Klara is actually closer to my thermoregulation than his. It’s impossible to get her to go outside if it’s anything above 75°F.
I’m writing all this because I’ve been feeling like crap all day and only now realized that my husband sneakily turned off the AC for the first time since April.

In my opinion, it is the responsibility of the “needs to be boiling” person to compromise. They can put on a sweater, I can’t take off my skin! Others in my household disagree…

Well, you can come visit me — and choose between my house and my swimming pool, where I keep the room and water temperature in the low 80 degrees, or ride in my Cadillac, where I keep the car temperature FREEZING.
Somehow I never realized the difference, until I looked into the rear-view mirror at the back seat and saw my German guests shivering to death, too polite to say anything.
