i have a parent that always wants me or one of my siblings to have their broken shit.
i always turn it down. my older sibling takes whatever it is and sits on it.
but every time our parent contacts me and complains that my sibling doesn’t understand value because they haven’t stopped their work, raising their kids, and their personal time to fix something they broke. and of course their stuff is too valuable, broken or whatever, to throw out it is our responsibility to want their garbage.
it was for our parent’s 10 year old broken laptop last time.
