    Getting a bit sick of going over to the p’s place and half the conversation is about them feeling cold. Tonight was 6 times. Their place is at 23c.

    I’ve tried to explain layering with light clothes, doing some light activity a few times a day when they feel it, thermals…

    I understand it becomes hard to regulate temp. at that age which is why layering is a good one. Gets a bit hot, take one off… not doing it for you put it back on rinse and repeat.

    They’ve been on so many trips to cold places over the years and they’re swimming in warm clothing, but they just… don’t.

    It’s like complaining about being rained on when you’re holding an expensive unopened umbrella.

    Frustrating.

      It’s likely to be circulation issues more than actual cold, in which case extra clothing does not help as much. More activity would be helpful as that stimulates circulation, but an electric heated blanket might be a good option for them.
