Go with the Instinct! less teaching for you!
OMG...Don't even get me started on when I bought her a laptop. Just to give you an example, this was one of her questions regarding her AOL account, "How come I can't find my AOL email?"

My response..."Mom, you have to open Internet Explorer and type the website in www.aol.com."

My Mom's response..."What is Internet Explorer?"

Even though I've explained the difference between a "web browser" and a "program" to her over and over again AND wrote down the definitions, it still hasn't sunk in for her. Although, I really can't blame her because considering her age (70), I'm just glad that she is still completely functional on her own and still interested in learning about "new things."
