Did she just not want it?

I bought my mum a handheld fan for her face during this heatwave. Has a thyroid issue so finds it hard to regulate temp.

I bought it for her and she said it didn't work. I asked her to send a video and she didn't.

I got it to return to Amazon and it works fine.

She's one of those weird people who says no to everything. I also bought her a sun umbrella which she used but she said not to at the start. We were outside today which is why I wanted to make sure she was as cool as possible - she also doesn't help herself with water, fans, hats, sun creams etc

....

stop buying her things

Just let her be and then tell her to STFU if she ever complains about being too hot.

She doesn’t want your help.

Leave her be.

I didn't fancy a trip to a and e with her

Yeah and I don't want a heat exhausted elderly parent with me....

I also have a thyroid issue- I’ll take your fan!

👏🏻

You don’t need to. Just wave as you close the ambulance door.

If people don’t want help then there’s nothing you can do.

I got my mum a Fan last year, just convinced her to use it today and she loves it. No idea why she hasn’t previously! 🤣

Leave her to it, no adult needs pandered to.

I offered my mum a spare air con unit. Brand new. She said no. She'd rather moan

Even my mother's doctor said to me once. 'You can lead a horse to water.........'

She's a grown adult. She can buy her own fan.

Maybe it's her way of telling you to stop treating her like a child.

My mum was like this. I stopped trying and much happier for it.

She's an adult. She made decisions for you when you couldn't make them for yourself. Let her make her own choices.

I hate fans! Like hate, hate, hate them. So no fans for me, yes, even in this heat. I also have thyroid issues. They don't cool me, just annoy me!

Then just say that....

She didn't have to lie

Unfortantly we had a planned day out and didn't want her fuckery

Then don't lie and let me use the fan

I gave her the choice not to use them.

But why are you buying her a fan to begin with? She's not a toddler.

If she wanted a fan, she would buy her own.

Leave her alone, she can't do right for wrong here.
