My parents: "You're a nerd, can you help with our computer?"
I reluctantly overlook how insulting they always are and help
Many months later
My parents: "Our computer isn't working right lately. It's probably your fault from the last time you were messing with it."

Then cut contact as much as possible
Is the Lemmy version of "lawyer up, hit the gym" basically just "cut contact with family at the slightest insult"?
I hope so. Many of our parents need to learn that "family" isn't about blood, it's about who I allow to be in my life. I don't give a fuck if you're related to me, treat me with respect and I'll reciprocate.
You realize that "lawyer up, hit the gym" was a silly overgeneralization that eventually turned into a meme, right?
