Name-poll poll What temperature do you normally keep your house during the winter? I hate to be cold and I have company coming and want them to be comfortable too.

What a great question....Ours is at 71 when it gets chilly (but were in CA).

Thanks Ladies!

Unless the temp outside is in the teens or below, i dont think ive ever needed to put it above 68.

we keep ours at 72/73, I`m a freezer too! :) When it was just hubby and me we turned it down for the night because we would warm up our room (it`s a small room and hubby is a heater of his own!), but Bekah`s room gets too cold if we do that now...

No warmer than 68F, cooler if there will be many bodies warming it up.

We keep it at 68, but if we were millionaires I guess I`d put it up to 70 during the day more often. We turn it off at night sometimes so we sleep better.

I keep my house between 69-71 degrees :)

Are you warm at 68-70 degrees or are you trying to be a little frugal and keep heating costs down? If money/cost didn`t play into this, would you still keep it at 68? We are not rich by anymeans, but I would hate for them to be cold...especially the little ones.

Honestly - we`re like you, soon! :-) We keep ours around 72. And `they` are used to warmer weather, so I don`t think 72 would cook them!! ;-)

68 year round

soon2be3 (821.8 days ago)
Brrrr! You ladies keep it cold! LOL! I keep ours at 72 and still cover myself with a blanket. Maybe instead of being too cold, I should be worried about cooking them? LOL!

We don`t have a set temp because the weather changes too much. WE jsut keep changing it to what feels good. Being in Texas though, it`s off more than on, and we can get by with space heaters.

3girls2008 (821.9 days ago)
oh and remember more bodies in the house will make it warmer!

3girls2008 (821.9 days ago)
we keep ours at 69!

Our heating bill is ridiculous in the winter! My heat stays on 60 unless we get in the shower; then it is on 68. We use space heaters in the rooms we are occupying; it is cheaper to do it this way.

colombianmama (821.9 days ago)
We keep it around 70!

we keep it between 68`F & 72`F.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
