My mom is freaking pissed at me, like she yelled at the top of her lungs at me...see im not very good at teaching people how to do things because if they dont get it right the first time i start acting too smart and get pissed at them cuz they cant get it through their heads. So my mom asked me how delete stuff on the dvr and i taught her how to do it many times but she asks me every now and then cuz she forgets and i tell her how to do it but im kinda mean when i do it, but anyways i told her how and she asked if there was an easier way to do it and i said no and she said "yea because i can remember u told me one time that u just have to click on how many u want and then press delete" and i said well if u knew that then y are u asking me and thats where she got ticked off and started yellin at me and now im like wat do i do???

I don't know how old you are, but I feel for you. I think it happens even though it is disrespectful. At least you recognize that it wasn't good and you feel bad about it.
Just go to her, give her a hug and tell her you're sorry if you hurt her feelings or made her feel bad. Tell you will try not to lose your temper like that again and if it will help, make her a "cheat sheet" for the dvr process. (Tape it to the inside of a dvd case or the back of the remote or where ever.... write a silly note at the bottom to make her smile.)
Good luck!

You and your mom sounds like my daughter and I when it comes to the computer. She gets upset with me so easy about it. She does not have any patience's at all. I know you think you shouldn't have to show a person more than once or twice how to do something. Some times this is right but sometimes it takes a lot to get them to get it down pat.
You are going to have to learn to have patience's when teaching people stuff. Like I said some learn easy and some don't.
Just like you, some people have patience's and some don't. You don't have patience's.
Here is some thing for you to think about. Treat other people the way you want them to treat you!!
I hope some time down the line when someone is trying to teach you something and you just don't understand it right then, that they have more patience's with you than you have with your mom.
Now after all that has been said, Go tell you mom you are sorry for getting so upset with her, and tell her you love her and give her a big hug.!!

Okay. Sometimes kids teaching parents how to do something is not good. The other thing is that your style might not be how she learns. Everyone has a different style of learning. My oldest girl finally learned the alphabet song. She needed to see the letters in use to learn the song. So we sing it while we play hangman. My youngest sings the song with us. My middle girl likes to count. She thinks it is fun to count when we walk, and use it practically. I have taught many people how to use their computer (including my mother-in-law) whose children showed them how to use it and they needed more coaching. If you are telling her how to do it, but not letting her see how it goes while she is doing it. She isn't going to learn it. For now, say Mom I am so sorry that I got uppity with you. I forgot that people learn differently. Can we try again. Put the remote in her hand and say let's start slower and maybe it will help you (and be prepared to do this a few more times). Let her see where everything is on the remote. Then tell her what needs to be pushed and let her see each screen as it comes up. Don't talk down to her and don't act smarter than you are. If this is not working for you, see if one of your friends can come over and help.

My Mom is the same way with forgetting stuff you've taught her. First tell her you are sorry, and that you were just frustrated, and you didn't mean to make her mad. Then write out detailed instructions. That's what I do, and put them by the DVR or whatever the instructions are for so she can't lose them.
