[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people are busy. I get it. So am I. But it takes my kids' classmates' parents FOREVER to respond to a simple e-mail or text regarding anything from school volunteering to kids' playdates, etc. I don't understand.

How long is reasonable?

For instance, a parent and I have been trying to set up a playdate for our kids and she'll write a message asking about a certain date, I'll respond a few minutes later that the date is good and propose a time. Then she doesn't respond until the next day??! just freakin respond. She is a SAHM.[/quote]

She responds the next DAY and you have a problem with that?! Her SAHM matters not: she likely needed to check in with DH if it involved taking the kid to and from your house on a weekend. I always check in with my husband before confirming, even though we share a calendar. We do this because things “pop up” like maybe he saw a sign for a festival in our town for that weekend.

How long is reasonable? Well, a day to get back to you about plans is certainly reasonable. WTH? We don’t all stand around with our phones responding to every little ping and email right there and then.[/quote]
