🤔.........maybe offer to help him with the electrical bill. Since you have AC in the house not sure if it would be worth buying a window AC unit for your room........Also wear Dri-Fit clothing which is designed to wick moisture from your body, like athletic clothing runners wear. Don't wear cotton clothing which will absorb moisture....

Girl, get a fan and spritz bottle. Put that fan less than 2 feet in front of you (dep being on size- you want to feel the breeze), then put that spray bottle on mist, and mist the shit out of yourself.

It’s like sweating but 100000000000x better and more cooling. And doesn’t require really much. My cheat to beating the heat (I live in an attic that gets over 90F regularly, it works)

Age old trick in the book, just open all doors and windows it what us Brits have to do in a heatwave. Use a fan if you have to, I sleep with just a bed sheet over me, I often wake up freezing cold but then at least I know I’m doing something right.

It might be a cost consideration as has been mentioned. Out here in California, PG&E can send you into bankruptcy cooling your home. There are some water-based room AC units that might be fairly cheap. Maybe he'll let you use that in your room. I'm probably in his age group LOL. Still, I'd not have a family member living with me and have them suffer. Especially if she's got to be almost naked to stay cool. That's not cool. Good luck!

Consider getting a window AC.

I'll be honest with you, older people have serious problems with it cold. They have problems with arthritis, sometimes even muscle spasms below 80° f.

This is my case. I have severe back spasms when it's cold. The AC here is set right now at 85°f.

May you live long enough to experience the problems gramp has with his personal thermostat - and in the meantime find a solution that works for both of you. I'm guessing when he was your age there was no A/C; people just found ways to live with the heat.

Is he worried about the cost of using it?

Why do people think this is about money?' What it sounds like is a young and an old person living together but lacking both the will and the desire to create a compromise, based on understanding and validating their individual needs. Deciding who pays the bills won't fix that.

Leaving this right here....

Get a tabletop AC unit for your room. I just bought one at Walmart for like $30

You may have to pitch in on the electricity bill to get him to turn it on.

My parents are the same when I visit. Old people loose circulation and are more sensitive to cold. They run hot!

Embrace your beauty and the heat, and enjoy the moments of attention.

Offer to pay the bill?

Take over responsibility for paying the hydro bill.

I'd stick an envelope with cash to the wall next to the ac control and write: AC summer Go fund me cash. Or offer to pay the electric bill.

You could also go buy one of this little one room air conditioner things.

Take the a/c out of the window and put it in the middle of the kitchen floor.

If he asks why it’s there, tell him since you’re not using it, I didn’t know where you wanted it.

…um…pay the electricity bill with AC on? I’m sure that will convince him to turn it on for you 🤔🤔

Good luck with that....I cannot sleep well at all when I'm hot....If you have a basement is might be 10-15 degrees cooler than upstairs

I'm not seeing a downside to seeing u wearing virtually nothing. lol That would rtaise the temperature another 20 degrees I'm sure. lol

Get a bowl of ice and put it in front of the fan and sit there for a while to cool off.

Well have you asked him why he will not turn it on?

Tell him that the heat is affecting your health.

Have you asked him about it?

*Throws a Molotov cocktail at the side of the house*😌

Get one of those little cooler fans that you add ice to for your room....

Ask for a window unit for your room.

Omg Lauren that's awful. It's been 🥵🥵🥵 in my area too so far this summer. Have you talked to him about turning on the AC sometimes? It can be super expensive in summer but at least yall won't sweat to death.

Cold shower

Sorry you’re having trouble at your grandpas house 🫂🫂🫂

Maybe being old it is not that hot for him, or maybe he likes you shedding your clothes

Go naked and tell him it's either that or put the AC on lol

Maybe he enjoys seeing you almost naked

Walk around naked in front of his friends. That might cause him to turn it on.
