My son (M19) loves to just wear underwear in his room for whatever reason. He’ll throw on a shirt and pants if he has to step out to go to the bathroom, come to the kitchen, talk to anybody, etc but otherwise he’s just in his underwear.

I’ve (M48) told him multiple times that I dislike this and that he has to wear clothes in case his mom or I have to come into his room. He says that if we start knocking he’ll throw something on and then it’ll be okay. I told him he still has to wear clothes and then he made another excuse and said it was too hot.

In the summer I tend to set the thermostat to around 85 or 87 to save money. I turn it down to around 80-82 once the sun goes down because then it takes less energy. He says that it makes him sweat when he’s just sitting around not doing anything and I rejoined by saying “if it’s so hot go spend a couple hours outside, see if it still feels hot”- we live in Oklahoma and it routinely gets up to 100 in the summers.

He rolled his eyes at this and we just kept arguing. I’m wondering now if I’m the asshole. Am I?
