Today, I found out my dad bought an iPhone. I've spent the better part of the last six months teaching him how to check his email and online newspapers. FML

I think OP means it's going to take alot longer than six months to teach their dad how to use an iPhone.

I understand, OP spent 6 months teaching him to use his email and look at online newspapers (which is a pretty basic thing to do) so will now have to spend ages teaching him how to use his iPhone.

Okey six months ago my brother gave my dad a mac. I don't live at home, but my dad still called me every day asking for help with everything and when I visited them I spent hours showing him basic stuff. Today he bought an iPhone, and this is a man which has had the same basic mobile for 4 years. Hope people get the point now :P :) -OP

my 3 year old uses my iPhone. Of course it's just for YouTube and game apps that are specifically for toddlers - but still how hard can it be?

Your 3-year-old is a mad genius child who will develop an app for his iPhone that will create a new identity for him, empty your bank accounts, transfer title of all your property to his new identity, and book him on a flight to a foreign country with no extradition treaty... all on his 4th birthday. You'll have a cake baked for him with four little candles, and he'll be gone... with his iPhone and everything you own. And you'll deserve it, because bought your 3-year-old an iPhone.

so seriously how is this a ******* FML YDI for not knowing what to put up on here

yup, technology are a waste for old people, not saying ur dad is old

wtf is your problem? people have actual problems.. and thats what you post? it's not called FML for those stupid posts. go **** yourself

Wow, you can't do your dad a favor? Nice.

lol...when it comes to parents I have learned that technology and parents dont mix...it took my dad a year to figure out everything a delete key can do.

the iPhone is for the technically challenged... there's no fml here O_o

holy crap I have the same problem, but with my mom and it's sadder because it's not an iPhone, she doesn't know how to use a regular, SIMPLE cell phone. it's SO annoying having her ask me how to text and check her text and hang up the phone , the most simple, stupidest things... SO ANNOYING
