I swear to god, my Grandma is one of the most demanding and entitled humans alive, but she is constantly insisting that people drop everything and attend to her every whim; not because she’s too outdated to be capable, but simply because that’s who she’s constantly been! Her entire life has been managed by other people looking out for her, and without my Grandpa around, she counts particularly on my mother and her other daughters, and if it isn’t one thing, it’s another, then even when she packs up and moves to FL to endure the cold winters, no one is free from her reign of terror
I swear to god, my Grandma is one of the most demanding and entitled humans alive, but she is constantly insisting that people drop everything and attend to her every whim; not because she’s too outdated to be capable, but simply because that’s who she’s constantly been! Her entire life has been managed by other people looking out for her, and without my Grandpa around, she counts particularly on my mother and her other daughters, and if it isn’t one thing, it’s another, then even when she packs up and moves to FL to endure the cold winters, no one is free from her reign of terror. In fact, she undoubtedly managed to make it worse from a distance this year! Apparently my Aunt made the mistake of having a smart control unit installed in my Grandma’s home last year, then my Grandma was constantly complaining that she didn’t know if the home was okay or the heat was staying on, so my Aunt decided to give her the means to monitor the indoor air quality from 1000 miles away, but unfortunately, my Grandma doesn’t have much else to keep her busy when she’s out lounging in the FL sun each winter, this means, she wound up using the smart control unit app on her phone roughly 10 times a afternoon. She consistently monitored the air temperature in her home up north and modified the heating system settings to compensate for perceived air quality swings; Fast forward to two weeks into her seasonal trip, and her outdated heating system was broken down; Not only did the smart control unit create even more obsessive material for my Grandma, but my mom had to go handle the professional HVAC appointment and upgrade of a whole modern central furnace without so much as a “thanks.”
