why not get her another toaster?
Yah, a salmon toaster! That really would make her happy. ​️​
But the OP will probably force her to make steak with it.
Otherwise, she'll end up in a nursing home for being too rebellious. ☻

why not get her another toaster?

I have a toaster oven and never use it. I don't know what to do with it. There's too many buttons and I don't like reading manuals so I threw it out.

Read the first sentence in your OP. You said you got her a toaster
OVEN
to replace her broken toaster.
Hence all the confusion and a zillion unnecessary posts before resolution.
Tempted to say 'solid troll game, bro!'
Solid bump, no-sis. ​

Never mind, she’ll be dead soon.

Then since old people really isn't your thing, but "dissing" them is, enjoy yourself…
Just remember, unless you plan a short life, you will be old one day.
It's not so bad… you get use to it.

This thread dissing old people is full of old people babbling about another old person they don't even know.
Bottom line, old people are weird.

She knows what she likes, and at 82, she obviously knows what she can digest.
Most people with elderly parents understand these things.
It's nice to see you back. Good wishes to both you and your mother.

She may be OCD, ADHD, or have some minor neurodivergent condition where change is difficult for her. At 82 she’s not going to change . But you are a good and thoughtful son for buying her a replacement.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

lol my mom literally orders the same thing no matter which restaurant we choose. Thai food? Salmon. Sizzler? Salmon. Chinese restaurant? Salmon. I find it strange but maybe I will understand when I get to that age. She’s 82.
Hey Diddler, Diddler….the cat and the fiddler LOL

I knew an old guy once, he fought in ww1, ww2, vietnam and was a first responder on 9/11. He would never change, and even when he did he didnt, he was the same.

I thought you would have. A blended family…so many misunderstandings.

No.
You obviously have. Hence, your animosity.

I don't have a "trap" to shut, so no. "We" do not agree. 🤨

How about you shut your trap, granny.

Ok. I understand. Just give her a little time to make the adjustment. Everyone needs that when faced with something new.

Her old one was a toaster oven and I tried to get one as similar as possible.
I know she doesn’t mean it I just get annoyed.

This is a very circumlocutious reply to an already grandiloquent, perhaps even pleonastic thread…

Why didn't you get her toaster? That probably takes up less counter space. It really hasn't anything to do with age,or resistance to change. It has more to do with knowing what one likes.
If she liked her toaster, you ought to have gotten her a better one with bigger slots for her bagle.
There is no doubt that she probably lost patience with you while trying to teach you things while growing up. No doubt she loves you though.
Give her a little time. She might look over these instructions and try out that oven because you gave it to her and she loves you.
