history: My mother was trying to help my father and she ended up hurting him more than helping. My mom can be a little too persistent about things she doesn't know much about. Its possible she is just trying to be helpful. I feel like she wants to be in charge too much. it is kind of sad to watch.
current: I can see how that would be really annoying. Just nod and say yeah. Thats what works for me.
next: That's good advice. It's not smart to get worked up over people who won't change.
