I swear to god, my Grandma is one of the most demanding plus entitled humans alive, but he is regularly insisting that people drop everything plus attend to his every whim; not because she’s too old to be capable, however simply because that’s who she’s regularly been, then his entire life has been managed by other people looking out for her, plus separate from my Grandpa around, he counts particularly on my mother plus his other daughters, then if it isn’t one thing, it’s another.
Even when he packs up plus moves to FL to endure the cold winters, no one is free from his reign of terror. In fact, he actually managed to make it worse from a distance this year! Apparently my Aunt made the mistake of having a smart thermostat installed in my Grandma’s home last year, my Grandma was regularly complaining that he didn’t know if the home was okay or the heat was staying on, so my Aunt decided to supply his the means to monitor the indoor air quality from 1000 miles away, then unluckyly, my Grandma doesn’t have much else to keep his tied up when she’s out lounging in the FL sun each winter… This means, he wound up using the smart thermostat app on his iPhone roughly 10 times a afternoon. She regularly monitored the air temperature in his home up north plus modified the boiler settings to compensate for perceived air quality fluctuations; Fast forward to two weeks into his seasonal trip, plus his old boiler was broken down… Not only did the smart thermostat create even more obsessive material for my Grandma, however my mom had to go handle the professional Heating, Ventilation plus A/C appointment plus installation of a whole new central boiler separate from so much as a “thanks.”
