    My mom just pissed me off!

    My mom is: 63 years old, a retired pediatrician, and fascinated at how easily people can make money online nowadays.

    A few months ago I offered to help her "test the waters" to see if she could monetize her knowledge online, to see how much money she could make with google adsense. I offered to create her a little blog in blogger, so she can have her own writing place and give advice to moms about kids' health.

    Since her laptop broke a couple of months ago, I bought her a brand new computer last week for her birthday, mostly so she could get started with her blog.

    Well, the first day she was very excited about it. The second day, she said she wasn't sure there was any money in that. The third day she promised she would write but didn't. And finally, today she asked me to write something for her in the style I think sells the most, so she can use it as a guide for her writing.

    It's obvious that she's not interested, and I'm soooo pissed now! I spent $1K on a computer for her to dab at writing blog articles, and now she asks me to do it for her!

    Am I being too harsh?

          sounds like most likely you were more interested in the idea than she was ;)

              You fucked up hard.

              Don't buy computers for old people, they don't give a shit about it.

              She probably is not using the Guitar Hero you bought either.

                      Sounds like you might have given her a false representation of how easy and how much she could earn online with a blog.
                      "WTF, on google you can find the answer to every question in human history, EXCEPT how to convert cams..

                      Its crazy..."

                                      people have a tendency to give up if they don't start making money instantly for some reason.
                                      you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                          You should scream in her face about how she never cared about you, and how stupid she is, and how much you hate her, then stomp your feet as you run off to your room and slam the door to listen to some emo music and cut yourself.

                                              That only works if you tell your mother that you want to have sex with her cause you are a 35 year old virgin and no women is willing to fuck you.

                                                  exactly, I had pretty much the same problem, all was great when we were discussing the concept, what needs to be done, etc... but then fell apart quite quickly when we got to the "lets do the work" part...

                                                      it is very easy to get excited about the idea of making money online but a completely different thing is working hard and making things happen ....... writing can be a hard job and not everyone is cut for it .......

                                                      sorry to hear about this chick's 1K thrown down the drain ... It might be true that she might have been more excited about thinking that her mother could make money online than her own mother was..

                                                          I guess you guys are right... I was more excited about it than she was. What bothers me the most is that all in all, I bought her the computer and all she will do with it, is write a couple of emails a week. What a waste! But, lesson learned! And in any case, I can give it to my son, who's 3 years old and loves playing with Thomas The Train online

                                                              I've had this scenario play out a couple of times. Just like people above said, you were more interested in the idea than your mom.

                                                              The best thing I did was send my mom back to college. It was pretty weird for her at first, being an M.D., but now she's eating it up. She's kicking ass too, top of her class.
                                                              Beat the shitty economy by becoming a loan shark.

                                                                      if I were you I'd suggest to her that she just write stuff out, don't include blog, don't include money making, don't include keywords etc.. just like... hey mom, this is your 'column'.. write whatever the hell you want in whatever style you want.

                                                                      She KNOWS her shit from what you say, so she has advice/info to share.. and maybe if she's excited about sharing THAT (or 'being published') then she'll stick with it

                                                                      you can always do the whole seo thing for her after the fact.. 'money excitement' often fades fast without results.. but 'interest excitement' can last way longer cos you're being rewarded in other ways

                                                                      I dunno, just a thought.. yknow 'old dogs' can still learn new tricks. they just need to be taught right

What bothers me the most is that all in all, I bought her the computer and all she will do with it, is write a couple of emails a week. What a waste! But, lesson learned! And in any case, I can give it to my son, who's 3 years old and loves playing with Thomas The Train online
