"no dear, that won't work, you need to do it this way"

But I don't like that way.

"but that's how it's done"

I like my way better

"but your way won't work, do it the way I showed you"

that way is stupid, why can't I just do it the way I want

"do you want it to work or do you want to continue to be frustrated doing it your way, which will never work"

forget it, I'll figure it out, I hate this ****, (storms off)

LOL. I switched my wife to Mac 8-9 years ago. She can use tech, but isn't super savvy. If my wife has a problem, and is OK with me doing it for her, that's OK. If my wife wants me to show/teach her how to do something, that's when things go south. The more frustrated and/or tired she is by the time she asks, the more likely things are to end poorly. Fortunately, we haven't had that problem in a while.
