My Mom is an absolutely stubborn guy! He loves to have things exactly the way that he wants.
He has also consistently been like that, but it is getting much worse as he is getting older, then things got absolutely bad after our mom passed away, then my Mom became a recluse.
He also hardly ever leaves the house, so I have to drag him out of the beach house and take him to events when the kids want their Grandpa at a hoops game or a ballet recital. He stopped driving about 6 months ago and has everything delivered to his beach house using Uber or 1 of the other services. I told our own Mom that I was going to possibility him up a couple of afternoons ago so the multiple of us could go to a bar and watch a football game, one of our Mom’s favorite football teams was going to play and I thought it would be fine for the multiple of us to get out of the beach house for a while. The heat was blasting out of the air vents. I asked our Mom why it was so hot and he said the temperature felt nice. I checked the control machine and the indoor temperature was 88°. I turned off the control unit, but even after I toggle the switch to off, the furnace still kept running. I had to turn off the breaker to the furnace in order to shut off the system. There was absolutely a big issue with the furnace and I told our Mom that I was going to call a service service. He started mumbling and moaning about cash, even though I also made the call anyway.
