You are already a great caregiver in my opinion and believe me you will learn more as you go. This site is extremely helpful in all ways so ask, rant or rave away anytime you want to and you will get plenty of support.
My wife, my vida, the saver of my butt was an only child and she came through like a pro even without the wisdom of this or any site as she is computer challenged in the worst way.
Don't feel at all unusual if you get totally frustrated at times because you will and don't be surprised if the love of your life yells at you because he probably will since you are there.
