I had to build my kid's PC. This is bullshit.

Have you never heard of the "teach a man to fish" parable?

you "had to"? you couldn't say "i didn't have someone to guide and instruct me like you do, and i got every PC I ever built working--so let's get to building!" ?

show your kid how to build it.

Who else do you think would be teaching them how to do it?
