[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they ever explain why they’re asking? They have a high school niece, they’re trying to anticipate when their kids get older, whatever? The texting seems really weird.[/quote] My question too. I've never asked more than a couple basic questions about older siblings and have never texted them later just for the heck of it. I could see myself asking if say, my child was nearing the age of yours and I was interested in what activities are offered for that age group. But I would probably frame it more directly like "oh your kid does tennis? I'm thinking of having my son switch leagues next year. Where does he play do you like it, what's it like... " I can't picture what a random text about your teen would even be. Give an example! [/quote]
