You are right about a tight budget for me. I AM on a tight budget and FORTUNATELY can fix my own damn
computer w/o help, most often of an expensive technician. I have actually NEVER called a technician for
computer difficulties for YEARS. And so, I have learned how to fix computers MYSELF and on a small budget.
Small wonder I was so irate. I couldn't believe he was not trusting my mum's or my opinion on the matter.
Stubborn old coot.
So mad, I don't know if he actually deserves to loose the 770 charged on the MC or not. I really am annoyed
to the point of no longer giving a damn.
I think because he was being crypitc about how he and whether he ACTUALLY charged the MC was a way of his
being embarrassed over what had happened. He would not admit to this and Mum had to get it all out to me. I just felt
worse by dad's attempts at hiding this part. That is what made it so much worse.
You seem to have some anger issues that you may want to look into. To get this worked up over a issue that they do not seem to bothered about seems like something else in play. Look into it,you will only learn something about yourself and grow as a person.
Dwelling on the situation just lengthens the problem and your Father will not feel comfortable coming to you about anything in the future.
Trust me,my mother is stubborn as well,any sign of me pushing her one direction and she gets her back up with some passive aggressiveness.
