How couples navigate role reversal with aging parents

Dad keeps calling me to fix his computer and handle his banking and I find myself getting impatient with him the way he used to get with me when I was little and didn't understand something. My partner sees how guilty I feel afterwards and we both know this role reversal is bringing out sides of me I don't like.

More people experience this than they realize.
