Not Making This Easier

A phrase used to tell someone that they are not helping with a situation, but rather making it worse.

"Dad, you know I'm starting my senior year in high school, right? Well...It's nerve-wracking."

"Oh, don't worry, son. When you're out of there, you won't have to go back! And you'll get to move out and-"

"DAD, YOU'RE NOT MAKING THIS EASIER!"

"...Oh, I see...Yes, being on your own can be more stressful than even your worst days at school. To be honest, it's a much harder blow to your mom and I than you think, watching the last bird fly the nest...But I'll always be here for you until the day I die. Even if I'm 100 years old and in my deathbed, I will stay with you until my time is up. Never forget that, son, no matter how old you get."
