I love my Grandmother to death but there is a single thing she and I don’t agree on, and it honestly irks myself and others every Spring, however she will sacrifice her own comfort to save money and I am willing to pay extra to keep comfortable.
My Grandmother lives in the deep south, where it is hot and humid most of the year.
Yet, she barely runs her air conditioning system. I go down for a visit and stay with her every Spring and it seems care about I spend most of my trip looking for sources of air conditioning system… Admittedly, Grandmother uses fans throughout the new home and she doesn’t transport around much so she honestly doesn’t get honestly hot. I’m sure she is used to the heat. But, I never have been an outdoorsy person, don’t care for natural elements, and care about the comfort of climate control. Although the un-even temperatures are usually only in the 80s at night on my visits and there is a fan above the bed in the guest bedroom, the humidity makes myself and others honestly uncomfortable and I can barely sleep when I am there. I took my Grandmother out to eat several times in the multiple mornings I was there and I treated to most of our activities and I assume care about my Grandmother should be willing to pay a few dollar increase on her electric bill for my comfort. I would even be willing to supply her the extra money for her electric bill. But, my Grandmother is set in her ways. To her, air conditioning system is a luxury to be enjoyed on special occasions.
