[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 215426, member: 6271"] Wynterthersgrace: I am a hates socks person myself...and I suffer in the cold. I like ugh boots, though and I have piles of light comforters and one wool blanket and I do not live in a cold environment. My grandmother was a cold hater and she also just didn't get wearing the garmets that just make sence. Having her around in the winter ment one sauna quality room and one shivering and complaining elder when she wasn't in it. My sister, on the other hand, is a very warm person. She doesn't like the smell of a closed up heated house. The air bugs her. The important thing is to do as you describe...learn how to take care of onesself in a world where no one but ones mother is going to fuss with you over it. My stradegy for the person who is uncomfortable is to try EVERYTHING I can think of and then look for more if I do not find the solution. Hot water bottles? Heat up rice in the microwave and warm up her bed? Cozy hats? Once when I had moved out on my own I insulated a walk in closet with newpaper and fabric and put my bed in there and used a heating pad that that warmed my bed up befor I got in it. It had a window that opened for the freash air that I need when I need it. What about gloves and mittens? And then there is my favorite remedy for what ails...hot tub! After a soak in hot water, which my body abusorbs like a spunge, I am relaxed and radiate heat for awhile. And then there is the lamb skin(s)...they are washable, they are cozy and warm and I personally love sleeping on one or on one and one on top. When dealing with someone who is actually having a problem as a parent I baaare in mind that my tone and my quality of attention is what my child will internalise and carry with them as they cope with life for a lifetime. With that in mind I have found that grace to use my words and deeds without feeling reluctant or burdening my child with that reluctance. With bills so high this winter I hope you find a solution with her. I found it useful to ask my teen to write the large amount the cell bill was driven to when he was texting hundreds of times in mere weeks onto the check. That way when other insidentals...like food, gas, and toiletries became A PROBLEM the matter hit home, for him. Not from the mad place,,, I let him see the "I just do not have the inner strength myself" side. Hang in there Mom! Oh..and silk is really warm and light and soft... [/QUOTE]
