[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 42 and I refuse to facetime.  It's ridiculous and a horrible way to communicate.  Just send pictures of your kid to them.  Show your kid pictures of your parents if you feel like it.  Don't force anyone to use Facetime![/quote]

Of course it's not a replacement for in-person communication, but I actually think it's a wonderful way to have as much connection as you can with someone who's not in the same room as you. DD is 3 and loves facetiming with her grandparents who live across the country. We do it every Sunday night. We set up the iPad and she talks to them while she eats dinner. She loves telling them what's going on with her and showing them whatever her obsession is that week (this time it was her stuffed zebra and her new shoes).

It's really nothing as awful as you're making it out to be. [/quote]

This sounds excruciatingly painful for the person on the other end of the line.  They’re humoring you.  Trust me, they aren’t enjoying it as much as you think they are.[/quote]
