Control Issues

Ugh. I am SO tired of this. I mean, I can share almost anything. I am a very nice person (and have been told so too) but my computer is one of the things that I can absolutely not share. Now, "share" in this case does not mean "Let me use your computer for 5 or 10 minutes." That is perfectly fine because it doesn't bother me completely. It's not as if I can't find something to do for 5 or 10 minutes. But, in the case of my mom, "share" means "Hey, let me use your computer for 3-4 hours daily and interrupt what you might be doing." It is so freaking annoying! I got this laptop as a "gift" for "my" birthday, but it seems like one of those "gifts" that was really intended to benefit the whole family and not for the person whose birthday it actually is. Now this may sound a tad bit mean, but I told them to use our old computer since their only need is internet browsing. But no. since it is new and shiny (and probably just because they want to annoy me), they HAVE to use mine! And with my dad, he says "Bring me the laptop" with pride! I can sense it in his voice! "Bring me the laptop." So, when our old computer finally became obsolete, we are back in square one again. Sharing 1 computer. It just annoys the HELL out of me. Especially when my mom asks me how to spell something constantly and makes me perform these mediocre searches on Google telling me "See!" as if it were something Sherlock Homes-worthy. Every single thing is a mystery waiting to be solved. If she googles "find telephone numbers for free", she will think the ad for "find telephone numbers for free for 50% off at ebay.com" is a solution. Even though, I've repeatedly told her those are the ads. Gosh. Moms!
