During the day usually at 66°F (19°C), maybe bump it up to 68°F (20°C) if we’re feeling unusually chilly still. At night we usually drop it down to 62/63°F (around 17°C).
Holy fuck. Are you all just hanging out in your house wearing your winter coats all day or something? I can’t imagine how uncomfortable that must be
I mean a hoodie and sweat pants and I'm good in those temperatures. I find it easier to warm up than to cool off.
I also heat to like 18-20°C. Just wearing a hoodie is more than enough, most of the time. And for extra warmth while couching maybe a blanket. 26°C would be uncomfortably warm to me, even in just a tshirt. That’s summer temperatures. Above 20°-ish are tshirt temps.
I keep mine at 55-61 F depending on humidity. Hoodie, pants, slippers is all I need.
In winter it's a very normal thing to be a little cold. If every household on the planet aimed for 26 while it's 0 outside, the energy needed would to heat up would be gigantic.
As someone else said, you just need some warm clothes and socks and you're fine at 19 degrees.
Edit : not a parent, so I don't know if it'd fine for children
I have a big old robe, flannel pajama pants, and slippers I wear around the house in the winter.
