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?!
She says, “I know, I’m sorry.”
It’s not a big deal, it’s just irritating. I wondered if it was a kid thing these days.
They probably don’t mean to. Reminder texts help a lot. If you have an iPhone you can also just react to your own message to throw another notification at them.
Time to dial the cringe to 100 when you talk to them. Make them respond with a good ol’ ‘the fuck?’
Haha. I love it.
