I feel really guilty right now. I feel as if, like usual, I should help my dad with his computer. However, also, as usual, he won't take my advise and is just using me for my computer savvy. Ever since I had started helping my dad with his computer problems, he has ignored my advice. He frequently downloads and uses random software not knowing what it does or where it came from. He'll constantly change his security software, install applications that do things Windows already is capable of naturally, and even make random online friends that he's never met. He treats his computer like a toy, not a tool, and I've been telling him to smarten up for years, and take my advise. I have learned well what he understands with computers, and would never say anything that he wouldn't understand.
I have gotten so tired of him ignoring my advise that tonight I told him I would not help him with his Internet Explorer. It seemed like if I had fixed his IE issue, that would allowed him to be reckless and download more software that could potentially cause damage. At dinner, I was very diplomatic when I told him that I wouldn't help him tonight. I told him how it is, and that's it. Regardless, he started to argue with me and I felt belittled.
I feel guilty for not helping him, but I've lost his trust. He has broken so many promises.
Should I feel guilty for not helping and just do it, or am I just in not helping him this time?
thanks guys in advance
