Jen & I have come to a mutual agreement on the number 74 – it just works for us.

We disagree but I just live with it and wear fuzzy slippers at all times and thick socks to bed because my feet are always cold. Talk about sex appeal gone awry but that’s the price he pays for living in the frozen tundra. Thankfully our van has separate controls so he can be 62 while I’m 78 on my side.

Like others said, I got my ‘revenge’ while I was pregnant. I would sleep in a tank top on top of the covers with the thermostat on 68 while JB was buried in covers.

This isn’t just a “marital” issue – as my roommate (dude) likes the thermostat so cold when he sleeps – I am talking like 68. I am freezing the whole time. I try to close the vents in my room, but it doesn’t seem to help.

Does this make me the woman in our relationship?

Like Tam above, I too have horrendously low blood pressure.

we currently don’t have a thermostat in our apartment… and our bodies have adjusted to a wider range of temperatures! but, for the most part, drew likes it to be much cooler than i do.

i think that’s normal for men & women, though.

Yeah Pam – so glad you finally commented!!

@jdellis – I think I could join your wife on the surface of the sun I need to work that deal with my husband. Currently he controls the theromostat AND the remote control!!

This is a very sensitive subject in our home. My wife would live on the surface of the sun if that was possible. I tend to lean the other direction.

In the end I gave up controlling interest of the thermostat to acquire controlling interest of the remote control. I’m still not sure it was a good trade.

Ash’s mom and dad do NOT agree! I like it COLD he, not so much. Ash wears a hoody when she comes home to visit!

Jenni – I love reading your blog everyday! -Ashley has encouraged me to comment several times – on this issue I can definitely relate!

Since I have been pregnant, he lets me set it on whatever I want! LOL! That is why we wake up with frost on the windows! But normally, I let him set it, because I like to cover up with blankets anyway….I am more cozy that way.

We actually do agree. We leave it at 69 or 70 all year. I am not a nice person when I am hot, so we keep it on the cooler side.

Never. My daughter came yelling out of her room this morning that the house was freezing. No one is ever happy. ever. Pretty funny
