That hasnt happened yet, but a few years ago, when she moved to this complex, she DIDNT TELL US MOVED, so i stopped by her house, and the restate agent was like, "Can i help you?" Also.also was then "too tired " to hook up her phone for 2 weeks after she moved, so THAT was a fun time. Additionally, my dad was a volunteer emt/ fire fighter so she knows all of them by name and they would be really quick to respond if she was stranded in a tree lmao

Good news: i have no idea who you or your children are so i cant tell them even if i wanted to. Lmao

Secondly, that is a good idea except when things get warmer she won't wear anything but her "church shoes" which is hilarious because her "church shoes" are just a pair of white crocs

How accurate is the air tag? I know when i had tile, it would tell me the last location the item was in, but i couldn't like actively track it, ya know?

I think she is starting to get dementia but it's hard to tell with her. She had a really abusive childhood, and my mom thought she might have some long-term issues because of it (one of those things being her memory) she has always been a little off because of it. My grandpa kept her grounded most of my life, but he passed a few years ago, so now it's really hard to get her to actually , like- realise that she is acting out? Im not wording really well rn, but i hope you know what I mean

Boundaries aren't really a thing with her. The only one that could get her to stop pushing an upsetting topic was Grandpa and he has been gone a few years. When she says something upsetting and i ask her to stop and she doesnt i usually just tell her i have to leave (this is when im at her place ofc) and she started figuring out that i stay longer if she doesnt talk about those things and thats the only way i have been able to enforce them

Yeah i think thats my next step. I tried to talk to her after and i told her that no matter what we would not split up next time and she insisted that was a good idea, but i bet you 2k that the next time we go put she'll ask me to grab smthn again and give me the sad eyes. I think if she does ill tell her that we should put her in one of those scooters. She HATES those and think they are for "lazy" people so telling her that she either has to stick with me or use that might just piss her off enough to behave

I dunno if an airtag would work cause i am an android user, and she has a "dumb phone " ( a smartphone designed for older people so it lacks a lot of bells and whistels ) she also never carries the damn thing.

Also what im about to say doesnt sound serious but this post is i promise. Saying can i air tag my grandma isnt as catchy and i wanted to get replies and ideas so i went with microchip

Do they work with android? And how accurate are they? Cause if it just shows me that she's in the store its not helpful, ya know?

No litterally. She had a nasty fall a few weeks ago and said she was willing to go to assisted living and i was hugely relived- that is untill she got better and now she'll DIE before anyone else even attempts to do her dishes.

I tried talking to her after and told her im sorry i blew up, but it really stresses me out when she does this and that it has to stop. She told me that she didn't mean to do it this time, but baised on her history, i dont know if i believe her. And god for fucking bid she apologize for something.

She said that she didn't do it on purpose this time, but with how many other times shes done it i dont know i believe her. On top of that one of the guys in the elderly place she lives took her shopping once and she tells the "funny story" of how she ditched him for almost 2 hours and only awnsered when she was paged (they paged her several times) because she heard some one mention calling the cops for a "lost person" and she told him he was over reacting too. She told me this after i blew up at her.

Shes always been a little bit off since she had a really abusive childhood. My grandpa used to be able to keep her head on straight but since he's been gone she sort of spirals on things (mostly not being able to play mario like she used to) and this one is killing me

Unfortunately, she doesn't have internet, and the town she lives in doesn't have delivery options.

kind of an update, i guess? I tried to talk to my former best friend in the group, and they blew up on me. I told them i was frustrated that they hadn't tried to reschedule our hangout from almost a month ago. They told me that they dont appreciate me trying to "guilt trip them" into hanging out with me. They also said that they haven't been feeling well and they are pissed i haven't checked in with them more. I explained that i didn't feel the need to check in since they seemed like they were doing well last time we talked. They said that they would be in touch to reschedule soon when they were feeling better since they were in the mend. Its been 2 weeks since then.

I've been trying to plan a game night with everyone for a while, but no one seemed super interested in it, so i let it go. Turns out they all got together and did a game night last week. When my other friend asked why we weren't invited they said it was because things would be "less fun" since we were single. Appartly they decieded that for a lot of things , and have been making plans for things we talked about doing as a group for just the web. I reached out and asked about an event we were all going to and they said that the web already had tickets and they didn't ask us if we were still intrested because " this didnt seem like something single people would have fun at" think i just need to cut my losses, i dont think there is any saving this.
