My Stubborn Parents
Written by Don Gregory
I have been trying to get my parents to get a computer and clear internet service forever. My parents are in their late 60’s, so they have never used computers much and they are resistant to learning. I have offered help in teaching them the things they will need to know, so I don’t know why they have been so hesitant. I live close to them so I know that we wouldn’t need to email each other, but my sister and her family live in North Dakota and I thought it would be a great way for them to keep in touch.
I think that my nieces and nephews would love to Skype with their grandparents. My parents are happy to come over to my place and let me set up a Skype chat but they are being so stubborn about learning to do it themselves. There are also so many other things they would be able to do, like pay their bills and store their photos.
This year for Christmas I am just going to buy them a desktop so they won’t be able to resist anymore. Hopefully they’ll like it!
