Arrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

I wanted to create a google account for Trig junior, so I typed in a new gmail address. Google has added that to my account. Should be no problem, but Google has decided to make it the main email of my account, and won't let me change it. ****ing idiots!

Ok, so it can't be fixed, so I decide to make my account his account, and create a new one for myself - but it won't let me create my account with my email as it says that account already exists :facepalm: FFS :rolleyes:

Is there a live chat or something to help get this resolved?

Thanks

Go to the Google homepage. Top-right corner, click on your avatar thingy. Try signing out, then logging back in under your preferred account.

I can log in to any account I want. The problem is, the main email address for my account is now my kid's email address, and it won't let me change it.

Ah, my apologies. Have you tried going to "My Account" -> "Personal Info and Privacy" --> scroll down to "Email" --> amend your associated email address as required?

Again, that may not be what you're looking for, but it is my interpretation of your OP.

So he will receive the daily porn links from Mod Towers?

This IS serious!

Because my main email for my google account wasn't a gmail, adding a gmail account made that my main email, and it won't let me change it.

The "solution", apparently, is to delete the new gmail address altogether.

But that means my son can never use that email address, because google still thinks it's mine.

I can't believe how shit Google is. If it was Microsoft I'd open a live chat with them, and they'd fix it.

Can you not create or give your son a different e mail address and then cancel both accounts with Google and start all over again using the different mail addresses.

Yes I could do that. But I don't want to, because the email address we chose is good for him. And I shouldn't have to do it, Google shouldn't be so shit.
