My parents spent all weekend fawning over our daughter and her boyfriend, who they met for the first time that weekend. He's "something in computers" so they got him to wipe their old laptop back to factory (saved me doing it) so he's flavour of the month. All the help I've given over the last decade or more has just been ignored.
