🚗 Convincing My Dad to Use Uber

Last month was my dad’s birthday.

As a gift, I installed the Uber app on his phone and linked my credit card.

My hope was simple: that he and my mom could commute more easily around Hong Kong, and that I could see them earlier and spend more time together.

But here’s the twist:

After a whole month, he hasn’t used it once.

When I asked him why, his answer was classic:

“I don’t want to waste your money.”

I explained that it wasn’t about the money.

It was about convenience, safety, and more family time.

Yet I realized something important:

convincing parents to change their habits is harder than closing any sales deal.

This made me wonder:

- How do you persuade parents to try something new?

- Have you ever managed to convince your parents to adopt a new app, service, or lifestyle change?

I’d love to hear your stories and advice.
