Oh, man, i just went through something similar (from afar, which...was probably better?) and sheesh. Families.

She's 81 and I know she can't do it herself, but I hope to god when I'm old I am not completely tech illiterate the way the old folks are today. I gotta keep up with the times! I wonder if by the time I'm 80, we'll all have brain implants that need updating all the time...

You poor thing. Relax, take deep, calming breaths. Maybe even nap for a little while. Works for me, usually.

Thank you. It doesn't sound like much, but it was made extra frustrating with my mom transmitting her anxiety about it.

I had to do that a few months ago.

You have all my sympathy.

So much fun, right? Thank you for the sympathy.

Setting up a new phone is the worst.

Especially with a very anxious 81-year-old woman hovering over your shoulder, asking questions every few minutes lol
