Mum opposed, opposed, and opposed to the idea of getting another family computer, ignoring / indifferent / oblivious to the fact that Dad really needed one. The story was, Bro has a nice computer, but he was almost constantly in the middle of something so it’s mostly unavailable when Dad wanted to use it. I have the laptop, decent enough and I’m always ready to share, but my “DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER DAMMIT” (sans dammit in real conversation) probably really scared / annoyed him.
So, despite of Mum’s objection, Dad got the new computer.
But guess who can’t stop using that computer now? Mum… Now we’re finally bonding. 
(What the hell? I kept typing “Ada” instead of Dad.)

Teehee. Seems like your mum is ashamed to admit that she would be the one using the computer 24/7 should she get a new computer.
Anyway, my mum is computer illiterate, so there’s no one fighting with me for the computer at home.
