[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a relative that texts us frequently throughout the day. The texts are almost like a stream of consciousness "I saw Salmon on sale at Food Lion" or "Beautiful sky tonight" or "So many joggers out tonight, let's hope they hydrate".  When we don't respond timely, this person is passive aggressive when we see them in person (You must be so busy this week, you hardly reply to my texts).  We have told this person that there are certain times when our family is very busy and/or we put down our phones for the evening. DH has started to ignore the texts on purpose, which I don't think is the right thing but wondering if anyone else experiences this. Most of the time I don't want to respond because i don't have time to wait for the plethora of follow-up texts or I feel like I can only say "oh neat" so many times. Is this a generational thing? (Person in in their late 60s).

My bro was like this. After purposefully not texting him and visiting, next time he said, “haven’t seen you all in awhile” blah blah things of that nature. It’s so annoying.[/quote]
