It's about my parents mostly my father. He's sick with cancer and they are moving. About once a week or so I bring my son up to their house and do various projects. Put things together and or take things apart. Fix broken items etc etc. I spend hours there.
My father keeps buying cheap put together furniture, wall units etc etc. It KILLS me he is buying cheap shit like this. There is always something missing, broken things end up getting written off and or sent back.
My GF is getting annoyed also. She told me to nicely put my foot down and tell him not to buy any more put together stuff. I told him I would help pick items out at furniture stores like most people do. I had to meet delivery people today who were "suppose" to also be installers on some put together wall unit. I think he ordered 3 put together wall units.
I got there delivery guys were gone. They tell my parents they are just delivery guys. Parents call Wayfair lol. They tell them since it has to be bolted against the wall they don't do that. They never told my dad that when he bought it and paid to have it put together. I also see he bought a fucking put together love seat. Who the fuck does this! I also see a put together coffee table.
I knew I had to put a vanity together so I start doing that. I told my dad again nicely, "I have asked you nicely many times not to order this stuff without me. I have offered to help you find things at furniture stores. I'm not putting all that stuff together that I see out there."
He hangs up calls back and tells me to stop putting the vanity together. Come to their house (I'm at the new place) bring my mothers new computer that I also worked on. He will never ask me to do anything again and I can go fuck myself he yells. So I finished the vanity and just left. Oh one of the drawer mirrors broke (kind of my fault I tightened the knob too tight and crack! One of the stool legs won't tighten. He also ordered a lift chair from Amazon that came with missing cables. I have to resolve that too. It seems to never end. I don't know how to get him to stop doing this and getting mad at me for putting my foot down. I feel I'm in an impossible situation. I told my GF what happened and she's says "well I can just go with you this weekend and help put the stuff together" I said absolutely not. He has to stop this and if it's going to take tough love so be it.
This is where I'm at. I'm pissed, upset and I don't know how to fix this.
