it’s generally 6-12C 43- 53F outside at the moment
I’m trying to figure out a way to tell her that it’s not good for my mum told her to check articles But I don’t know what the backlash will be now
she is concerned for the environment I think… I’m not exactly sure why she keeps the temperature so low…
she told me to give my mum back the dressing gown i borrowed
feel so bad about that
My mum has smoked all her life and has started coughing

Tell your mom it’s her house and if she wants the heat up then turn the heat up.

If your mom is 79 and cold she has the right to be warm in her own house.

I have the opposite problem, my brother keep putting the heat at 25.5C and its too hot for me and my parents. He gets mad and yell at me whenever I drop it.
My brother is controlling too, sometimes I think he’s a psychopath. He’s selfish and annoying.
My dad doesn’t like it when the heating is on. So, I always put it on when he’s gone. I like 20C
Sounds like senior abuse.

I couldn’t stand that much cold. Maybe you could get your mom a space heater or electric blanket.

The room I spend most of my time in is usually 25C during winter when the furnace is on and it’s too warm, but the heating duct in the ceiling isn’t connected to the vent properly that warms the top floor and too much heat comes into this room.
I keep the window open to cool down the room. Right now it is 23C in the room. I like 21C.
It’s 1C outside right now.

It’s your Moms house.
She should be able to keep it any temperature she wants.

threaten to report her for senior abuse if she doesn’t turn up the heat.

Being mean to the elderly is something that just doesn’t compute for me. I treat them the way most Americans treat war veterans.
She should be allowed to set it at a comfortable temp especially if it’s her house.

I completely agree. It’s elder abuse. Call the police for help if she won’t listen

She should be able to turn the heat up for sure. 59 is too cold.

Elderly people can be very fragile. If your sister wants it cold assign her a single room in the house that is colder than the rest and let her spend her time in there.
