What is one thing your parents will never learn?

[TwoManyKids]

Light hearted!
My mum refuses to learn the difference between the WiFi and mobile data. She runs her data down at home (messing around with settings and accidently turning off wifi) and obsessively hounds waiters/baristas for WiFi codes when we are out! I keep telling her she is paying for data and she can use it!
What is something your parents can't get their heads around?
Also She'll also hopefully never learn it was me and now my sibling who dinged the car twenty years ago!

Boundaries and to stop calling me to talk about nonsense while I'm busy or trying to have leisure time. She does not work, my life is already overwhelming!

That you can’t opt out of the boring adult stuff such as having house insurance, taxing your car, getting it mot’d etc and that older people who don’t have a daughter acting as a pa just get on with it themselves.

God yes. I’m the PA.

To be fair, I'm an oldie and recognised myself in a few things lol 🤐😬

Luckily, I am tech savvy, and capable, so I don't burden my two with all that.

The grandkids help me with a couple of things, and cannot understand why I hate Twitter and Tic-Tok.

And, I never carry my mobile phone around everywhere - got better things to do than be glued to that all day.🙄

My mother-she refuses to use the Internet,will use a mobile to call but never text and and will get one of my brothers to buy anything online-but will write out her card details on a slip of paper,she's cut out of a magazine/phone up and pay over the phone
Refuses online banking as its full of scammers

My father-all the above
He refuses to turn his phone on which was annoying if he went out
He won't use the Internet for anything,refuses to use cashpoints,contact less,bank transfers and dvd players/mirowaves/the George foreman/the tv remote

My mil-she has WiFi but refuses to use a computer
She nearly had a fit when I used contactless in a shop,she goes to the bank once a month to take out a lot of cash and just used that
She almost fainted when I bought something from ebay for her,in front if her
She refuses to shop online but has mastered Netflix like a pro
Her texts read like a letter 'dear pebbles,xyzx, love mil'

(I luff my mil-even if it can be draining trying to show her how to do something over and over again)

Ageism? Hmm. My parents have done several of the things mentioned in this thread since they were forty-something and would probably have done the same in their thirties. As I am in my fifties now, I know that forty-something people are young.

This was my mum too. She went to grammer school in the 1950s so obviously knew everythign even though she left at 15 with no qualifications.
