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