> encourage focus on the technical issue Can you reframe the problem in non-technical terms for yourself? A great solution could reveal itself in a way you had

  I appreciate your socratic approach this time. It's easier to receive than insinuating my wife is acting childish ("she's an adult"). One can certainly encourage others to keep their own devices charged. However, this solution doesn't scale, for example to whole families or people helping their aging parents use a smartphone. Moreover, the issue persists if we only consider my devices. So I edited the question accordingly.

    > insinuating my wife is acting childish ("she's an adult"). I was actually critiqueing you and defending her. One thing I have found in my own life is that sometimes when I do somethign to help someone, it can undermine their autonomy, sense of responsibility, and independence.
