[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I get annoyed with this, even when the mom in question is my friend and I like her. It's not an efficient way to do anything. My preference would be:

1) Make plans via a conversation or, if we must, email
2) Put plans on calendar and make mental commitment to them
3) Only cancel or no-show in case of emergency or issue, not simply poor planning, which yes can be communicated via text

Instead everyone does this insane and stressful thing where all plans are constantly in flux at all times, and many people can't even commit to basic details of the plans (like when or where we will meet) until like the morning of, and will want to change specific things last minute to accommodate things that they should have known or thought of but didn't because they either weren't paying attention, or have more organizations skills, or just think this is a good way to do things. I do not get it. Just make plans and then show up for them! It can be very straightforward.[/quote]

It isn’t so easy with the plans. I have 3 kids and all 3 kids are in activities and sports and most everyone else has multiple siblings and activities as well.

There is this one mom who texts to arrange a play date but they are so busy that they have like one time slot for the whole week that doesn’t work for us. Then she will text me again week after week trying to arrange a time and our schedule just doesn’t work.

I invited a group of boys over and the mom let her son come. He must have missed his activity.[/quote]
