^^OP here responding to crazy above.

You have clearly never met my father. I tried to be helpful earlier in the day by pointing out that he should turn left to get on the highway. I said it several times, but he didn’t acknowledge me until he was IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. He stopped, chastised me for “yelling” at him, and stayed in the middle of the intersection to do that while oncoming traffic was honking at us. He is not a reasonable person.

So no, setting up the Bluetooth for him would not have helped. It would have made it worse.

It wasn't hours it was 20 mins trying to sort out his phone. Op waited until 6.15pm to then suddenly desperately need food ASAP. Her father spent 20 mins trying to get bluetooth to work - it may have been quicker if someone did it for him - and then OP snapped and then her father snapped.

So I'm wondering why you went from lunch to 6.15pm with no snacks and no naps and this is your parents fault. You were held hostage were you, it's the first day you have ever taken care of your child and you suddenly realised you may need snacks. Oh goodness how did this happen, I wonder. Who kept the kid up late every night - the night fairies.

You could have helped your dad set up the blue tooth and it took 20 mins before it all exploded.

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Your whole family has a bad dynamic, why go, it doesn't sound fun at all but as to who is not self aware, well I would say all of you.
