Just don't. You're wasting your time with this IT stuff anyway and now theirs too. And you should have fixed the printer not printing yesterday already.

It's a thankless job.

Teaching slowly how to convert pdf to mobi to my mom for her kindle, each step, doing it with her, and 0 success. I don't mind it, I know she gets very frustrated with technology but it still sucks.

Any time my parents, on Whatsapp video, want to turn the camera round to show me something.

My parents are fine with it, my grandparents don't use it. So no issues with tech support. Also they moved over 100 miles away so I rarely see them.

Unsubscribing from emails. Couldn’t figure it out myself.
