Once, I told my mom that she should install a hard drive herself. She has since moved on to setting up routers and at least one security DVR. By convincing her to empower herself I've freed her from the crappy support at the store, which has saved her lots of money.
- pavel_lishin 11y agoI'm in a similar position - I'm notoriously slow to answer emails and check voicemails, which is fantastic. After a few instances of this, my mom just started learning how to Google the answers to her problems. These days, if she needs help with something, it's usually something that I end up needing to ask someone else for help with.
- anotheryou 11y agoI can't even make her write down what I tell her, which she will forget in a minute... or she wants me to install her new laptop but refuses to migrate away from her crappy desktop (and I refuse to set up 2 backup set-ups). but she gives me money to study while not having a good pension saved for the future, so who am I to complain!
