HOLY FUCKING SHIT MY MOTHER IS STUPID
fuck it i'll greentext this one
>be me
>19
>living with my mother just like every other 19 year old looking for a job
>have hole in the roof of detached garage
>the shingles, and tar paper are peeled up exposing the plywood underneath
>there's a half inch gap between the sheets of plywood under the tar paper
>she says, and I fucking quote "Just use some flex seal"
>not the paint shit, the spray on kind.
>say that shit isn't going to work based off of common sense
>did i mention she's 60 years old?
>how in in the blue hell does she plan to make that shit work? She sure as shit isn't going to use anything but flex seal.
>she's had stupid ass ideas like this before. From saying "i'll just insulate the basement with cardboard stapled onto the fucking rock wall. (we live in an older Victorian home) and sure as shit, it didn't work. And she blew 40 fucking dollars on cardboard.
how in the hell can i talk some sense into her? Nothing gets through her fucking head. And if i actually present evince to support my claim, I get called a "smart ass" and "know it all"

>>1706381
It's probably how you are presenting the information to her. Try to calmly and in a non-condensing manner inform her as to why her idea won't work and then offer a better solution. Let her know that her idea will just cost more time and money in the long run. If she still doesn't accept it, fix it yourself with your own money and she'll be grateful and probably pay you back.

Expanding foam.
But seriously, either fix it properly for her, and get good boy points
Or sit back and laugh when it fucks up.
My mum couldn't understand how a corner cupboard with 2 doors opening towards each other couldn't work, even when I mocked up a 3d model and then made a 1/4 scale replica.

I ended up having to make a stupid concertina door thing to keep her "Idea" and stop her whining.
