74. The Heat

It has been chilly in here. I love living in Texas, where it is November 15th and today is the first day that the heat has been on at all. Of course that is because I have refused to turn it on when mom or my husband wants it on. Here is the big issue. When she is cold she wants the heat on. When she is hot she wants the air on. She wants us to flip back and forth with the weather conditions and with how warm it is in here. Albeit it hasn't been warmer then seventy three in here all month, or colder then sixty three. Although it has felt really chilly. Yesterday Peter wanted the heat on, but the window in my mom's room was open and letting cold air in. Today, Peter turned the heat on because he was really cold.

Where to find a balance? There is no such thing when there are two masters to a home. She won't give up that title even though she is now in our home. She doesn't respect me or Peter which means that she wants it her way, no matter what.
