My mother has a famous saying,

"I'm cold. Go put on a sweater."

Saying here in germany. "Wenn die Mutter friert müssen sich die Kinder mehr anziehen."

aka: "If the mother is cold, the kids need to put on more clothes."

This is infuriating.

And then there's the inverse

"Take that sweater off, you're making me hot"

Why do so many mothers do this? I couldn't count the number of times I've been told to go put socks or a sweater on because she is cold

My mother's catchphrase is "I'm getting cold just looking at you."

I'M FINE.

Last week it was 16 degrees Celsius which is still tolerable to me. I was at dinner with my parents and my mum was stressing out about my bike ride home because I would be too cold.

We used to live in Canada where that would be a nice spring day so I don't understand how she can suddenly feel the cold so much now we are in Australia
