[quote=Anonymous]I’m way beyond college but my mom does this with texts still. She will text out of the blue and say “what time are you flying home for Easter?”. It’s December, I’m barely ready for Christmas, I don’t even know if we’re going to her house for Easter, and I’m not fully sure when my kids’ spring break is. Something about a question requiring a precise answer on the spot feels really aggressive and also demands a few layers of work that I’m unlikely to be able to execute in a time my mom finds reasonable. And if I reply by saying “I don’t know”, my mom will badger me and ask me question after question about how I could not know and do I value family and so on. Rather than give her space for a tantrum or start typing but leave her room to spin herself into an anxious frenzy while she watches the 3 dots, I’ll just leave the text unread until I can sit down and really think.
