MIL came over for dinner the other night and could have won an Academy Award. Everytime she comes over she complains about the temperature. The house is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.She keeps hers chilled in the summer and hot in the winter btw. That night it was 55 all day and we had the oven on,- the house was 68-69 degrees. After we ate she starts complaining that she's cold and we should put the heat on. DH turned on the electric fireplace and the living room was very warm. I hear her complaining so I go look and she's standing huddled by the electric fireplace with her coat on. I told her she is crazy that it is not cold. Oops DH was a little annoyed but I couldn't stand to hear it anymore. So was I wrong, should I turn my heat to 74 degrees when shes here and 65 in the summer? It bothering me because I've never said a word back to my MIL in 11 years and Im starting to feel bad...
Yes, you were wrong not to raise the heat while she was there and you were RUDE on top of it. She is your husband's mother and a guest in your home. Have some respect.

Would you have reacted the same way if one of YOUR parents made the same request?
