Bit grumpy
22 July 2023 15:06Gotta wonder about people that aren't friends that still show up as lurking on your LJ a year and a half after they decided they just were far better than you. What a weirdo.
Anyway...
The sister called last night because god forbid the parents call her once every few months when they have a power outage and need help reconfiguring Mom's computer to bring the browsers back up. Sis didn't know they lost power because a mile away, she didn't and no, the parents don't need a new computer, it's just that Dad's brain is declining and he can't always figure out how to get things going again. But guess that was too much to ask of her or her shit husband to take a whole 10 minutes out of their day. I got a call today from the parents and through the frustrating Old People Remote Tech Support, managed to get them back in action.
Then with both of them on the phone, they started snipping at each other (not important why) and I just can't with all that. I'm helping them reconfigure their computer, trying to help them put together a grocery order, I am the ONLY kid helping and I'm two states away. I'm already in that post-menopausal time where emotions are on-edge, I'm not going to be the mediator to whatever pointless little spat you're having.
And Dad, don't call me back that you did what she asked and it wasn't that big of a deal and you're still snipping. STILL DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
Also trying to keep idiot JonJon from hopping up and down off things. He came out of the bedroom with a bit of a limp last night so obviously he hopped down off the tall bed and his old bones didn't like it. He doesn't seem to associate the owies with the fact that if he keeps doing it, it's more owie. Dude, there's a box that's lightly padded for you to step down on before going down to the floor. The girl understands the concept and uses it, why are you so dopey?
