My fucking d/gen mother had be coaxed into buying an $80 pair of shoes for my sister for Christmas but just bought herself a Switch and Hogwarts Legacy (bleh) just now. And now is trying to ask me questions about how to use it and "how to put games on it". FUCK OFF. Fucking loser. She also refuses to put her hearing aids in so she wants me to not only thoroughly explain all of this, which she can't be bothered to remember, but also to fucking impossibly boil it down to yes or no questions and simple statements.
It will be shoved into a drawer in 1-2 weeks after she realizes I can't easily pirate more games for it or pirating games for it isn't simple, free, and instantaneous. Also refuses to read or learn anything in video games and thus keeps getting "bored" of them because they require literally any effort.

Her abused-by-abandonment dog just died 2 days ago. Was yelping in pain the last few days and I was like "something needs to be done here" before this happened. I'm so glad it seemed to have died in its sleep in its bed. But before -- the last week or so -- she just took her hearing aids out so we have to hear it suffer and she pretends, or is so vacuous that really, nothing is wrong to her.
My father and I had to go bury it while she huffs and puffs all day as a way to try to manipulate us into caring about her. Honestly surprised she didn't call into work so she could be the ultimate hypocrite because she once told someone there (she handles scheduling there somewhat) that they should still come into work after their friend committed suicide.
god damn. I sincerely hope things get better for you
