92 here. My boys 10 and 8 have their own machines, they are told to Google it first before I come help.
"I'm not raising end users...get your shit together kid."
Love,
SysEngineer Dad.
I spent so much time troubleshooting together with my dad. I found it way more educational than just googling it and owe my current level of knowledge to it. When I was living with my parents part of me was sad when I got to the point where I was able to solve any issues I had faster alone than with my dad's help. No judgement just thought you might want to know. I totally get not wanting to cross over your work life and your family life though.
I learned electronics through my Dad that way too. And my kids learn through me with this stuff. But if they ask me over and over again to do something, it's their burden to go research what they need to learn to stop asking me. And it's usually done with my guidance. I'm not actually flippant with them with their questions lol
