House is like an oven

[vera16]

Arrived at parents house for Christmas. House is so hot I struggled to sit in living room (27oC) and started to feel a bit ill so went up for early night. Young DS was still awake looking hot and saying he wanted some 'fresh air'. Now considering how to handle rest of the week, DF is on blood thinners and feels the cold so insists on cranking the heating up, But is sat there in not particularly warm clothes. DM is upset I can't/won't sit with them. Who is being unreasonable here?

Oh your parents sound like my kind of people. I am ALWAYS cold!! Right now I'm in bed in full pjammas, two duvets and a hot water bottle. Heating is on but DH is more normal than me and won't have it above 18/19 at night. I'd be moving in with your parents if it was me!!! 😁😁💼😎🔆

Typos galore… sorry!

I don't see why op should nt at least ask politely if there was any chance of turning it down a degree or so. And i would probably strip down to my vest if they declined that request

It sounds bliss.

Jealous that they can get/afford to have their house at that temperature. Mine won’t get above 18 degrees.

Oh goodness that's tricky.
For future visits, bring a fan so that you can sit and chat to them.
For now, it's definitely worth turning the bedroom radiator off and keeping the window open for the duration.
Cool shower before bed .

I'd hate it too: being too hot makes me feel sick really quickly. It's quite reasonable to explain that you understand your dad needs to be warm but that you and your child can't stay in a room that hot for very long

Yes this. If small make sure your bedroom is bearable.

Oh I feel for you OP. I went to DFIL's place a couple of months ago and it was scorching. Like why would you put the heating on when it's 25 degrees outside!?
dC felt it too.. couldn't stand the heat

Perhaps I'm just rude, but I can't imagine not being able to say, "I'm so hot in here it's making me feel ill! Could we compromise and have Dad put some warmer clothes on so that everyone can be comfortable?".

I am anticipating this, this weekend. Heating will be up and my dad will be sat there in shorts with his beer gut out.

I would politely decline to stay next Christmas and ask them to yours!

I feel your pain 😩 you could grow fucking bananas in my Mum’s house 🥵
She does feel the cold so I have to suck it up 😩
I wear thin clothing, stand outside regularly and open the window in my bedroom …
sorry not helpful, but you’re not alone 😬

In my parents house if I said “I’m melting I can’t cope with the heat” no offence would be taken and it’d be turned down or a compromise found. Same with my sister’s house and then at mine. Different families- different ways I suppose so I’m sorry that it’s tricky for you to mention it.

DH is on anticoagulants and feels the cold. He's got a heated throw for his sofa, and extra heat in his bedroom.

It's unreasonable to heat a whole house that hot and wear light clothes.

Omg 27. I thought I liked a warm house and mine doesn't go above 20.

Then no. You do not like a warm house.

I run very cold and start to get cold when my room hits 20C and I'm sat WFH. I would take a 27C house in an absolute heartbeat. That is my idea of HEAVEN 😁

That sounds like heaven to me. I can't get warm no matter how many layers I'm wearing.

Oh don't be ridiculous!!!

you do sound like a daily Mail 'reporter'.

I cannot deal with hot houses so you have my sympathies. My DP went through a stage of wanting the house at 25*C many years ago and I had to wrestle him away from the boiler 🤣🤣
