Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : I'm sure many of you know the struggle, even if you're not super tech savvy. There are still lots of people out there who, despite using modern technology each and every day, have yet to learn how to solve simple issues by taking a look at their settings or via a quick google search.

One of those people is my mother. Now, I do love my mother very very much (of course!) but sometimes she just drives me insane with her questions on "how do I do this on my phone?", "where do I change this setting?", "why is this not working?" and her immediately trying to hand me her device so that I can fix it.

I do not take her phone/tablet when she holds it out to me. If it's not a simple "turn it off and on again" issue, I usually tell her to just show me where the problem is and we'll look at it together. She should be the one making the changes in her settings or whatever else needs to be done. That never fails to make her instantly annoyed, though. Apparently I "don't want to help her" if I don't just do whatever she needs done. No amount of me explaining to her that I want to teach her to do things herself can ever appease her. She doesn't have to be afraid of breaking anything, most devices are actually quite foolproof. But no, it's just that I "have no patience" and "can't even do a simple little thing for her".

This doesn't usually create a huge conflict but it happens so often that it's really bugging me, and it makes me question if I'm inadvertently being a dick, even though I have good intentions.

AITA for not just sucking it up and fixing things? Or is it okay to be a little more passive while helping so that my mother can (hopefully) learn to resolve issues herself?
