That sounds like "parenting" to me. It's not easy. Welcome to being a 
parent. If the little girl just wants to print out dolls to color then 
maybe the parent should offer a helping hand. Isn't that the kind of 
thing that parents are supposed to do with their children?


Have some T-shirt snark:

   No, I will not fix your computer
No, I will not fix your kids, either
     And it's too late to fix you
