My parents 😨 hell.💦
"Wait, you can't change models alone in your 80s!?"
I'm really impatient if I don't know my parents' smartphone situation 🫣💦
With the "handmade anman" made in the video,
Today I went to my mother's house!
Actually, the other day, from the iPhone 8 that my 85-year-old mother used for many years,
I finally changed the model to a new smartphone.
However, I hit the "80s wall" there ⚡
Did you know that?
When you are in your 80s, there is a rule that you can not change the model by yourself (you need an attendant) in the same treatment as a minor!
My husband accompanied me this time, but...
From there it was "real hell" 🫠
Mom: I want to take over Line.
Mom: "I want to see Yahoo mail"
Husband: What is the password?
Mother:... "I don't know."
Even though my password is suspicious, I can not know my parents' password 💦 a big panic After all, it took hours for the procedure and my husband came home exhausted 😭
Parents' smartphone models are really weird, don't underestimate them!
Everyone of the same generation who is preparing for their parents' smartphone procedures from now on.
I learned from the mistakes of my family so as not to rush in case of emergency
We have compiled a list of preparations that you should definitely check before changing your parent's model.
Please save with the mark on the lower right and be sure to use it as a talisman 👇✨
⚠️ parent smartphone model change, mandatory confirmation list ⚠️
✅ various passwords (super important!)
・ Apple ID or Google Account Password
・ LINE password and registered email address
Passwords for frequently used apps (Yahoo, carrier email, etc.)
It's an iron rule to have your family write it down in a notebook or keep it in mind!
✅ name and required documents
・ In the name of the parent or family member (even if a power of attorney is required)
・ Do you have identification documents (My Number Card, etc.)?
✅ Accompanying Schedule
・ Be prepared to take a few hours and secure a day when your family can accompany you
✅ Can parents really use that device?
Can parents really operate the latest smartphone without a home button?
(My family gave up the iPhone and made it the same "easy phone" as my father!)
And after the model change was finished safely, there was another problem.
"I don't know how to use it" attack 😂
When I teach them, they get frustrated and start fighting, saying, "I told you earlier!"
This time we sent the second son (grandson) of a digital native high school student! 👦✨
My grandchild will teach me gently and crisply, and my mother is also overjoyed.
"It's about my parents, so I have to do everything."
You don't have to hold it alone.
Ask her husband to accompany her and let her grandson teach her how to operate.
Relying on your family while feeling sorry is also an important skill to live in a good mood in your 50s 🌱
Do you know your parents' smartphone password properly?

我が家がいちばん苦戦したのは「機種」よりも「契約まわり」でした。特に、親の回線がどこの名義なのか（親本人？亡くなった父？子ども？）が曖昧だと、ショップで一気に止まります。私も最初に確認せずに行ってしまい、二度手間になりかけました。 ■ソフトバンクの名義変更で先にやっておくとラクなこと ・契約者名義（契約者＝支払いの責任者）と、実際の利用者が同じか確認 ・契約者の本人確認書類が準備できるか（免許証/マイナンバーカード等） ・親が来店できない場合の対応を事前に店舗へ電話で確認（委任状が必要になるケースが多いです） ・支払い方法（口座/クレカ）と暗証番号・ネットワーク暗証番号の有無 名義変更って、気持ち的には「家族なんだからいいじゃん…」となるのに、手続きはきっちり本人確認が必要。だからこそ、来店前に“名義・暗証番号・支払い”の3点セットをメモしておくと当日の時間が全然違いました。 ■auの「らくらくホン」か「らくらくスマホ」か迷ったポイント 母は長年iPhoneでしたが、ホームボタンがない機種やジェスチャー操作でつまずきがち。そこで候補に入れたのが、auで扱いのある「らくらくホン/らくらくスマホ」系。私が比較してよかったのは次の点です。 ・ホーム画面がシンプルで文字が大きい（“どこを押せばいいか”が直感的） ・電話・連絡先・LINEなど、よく使う動線が短い ・困ったときに家族が説明しやすい（画面が見やすく、操作が一定） 一方で、親によっては「LINEの引き継ぎ」「Yahooメール」「写真のバックアップ」など“スマホっぽい作業”が必要なので、購入当日に全部終わらせようとしない方が安全でした。 ■当日パニックを避けるためのミニ準備リスト（追加） ・Apple ID/Googleアカウントが何のメールで作られているか ・LINEの引き継ぎ方法（電話番号認証か、メール/パスワードか） ・SMSが受け取れる状態か（認証コードが来ないと詰みます） ・よく使う連絡先を紙にも控える（万一の保険） 最後に、手続きも設定も“全部自分が背負う”と本当に消耗します。ショップに行く役、パスワード整理する役、使い方を教える役を家族で分担すると、喧嘩が減って現実的でした。特に孫世代の「優しい説明」は、親の自信も戻るのでおすすめです。
