Does your kid never return texts?

3 years ago by Flying Squid to c/parenting

Assuming they're old enough to have a phone, obviously.

I have to send my daughter reminders to do things all the time because she's extremely forgetful. She's not annoyed by that, she's asked me to do it. And whenever I send her one, I get a read receipt and no reply. And I've told her a bunch of times that it's rude to not reply to texts like that, but she keeps doing it.

It's driving me crazy. She's a good kid, but why doesn't she return texts?!

All the time. All. The. Freaking. Time. 3 teenagers, who will be on their phones non-stop, just ignoring my messages. "I didn't see it".

That's bull!!!! Ik you did!! I've seen you swipe away the notification because it interrupted your TikTok videos!!!

Aaarrrggggghhhhh. Then I remember that it's illegal to strangle your children lol.

Now, I message once, then log into my router and turn off the wifi on their phone/PlayStation.

"Ok, ok dad, I'm doing it now!"
