[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Mom, I'm really sorry I didn't listen to your voice mail. I'm sorry for your loss. When you are ready, I'd love to talk with you about Great Aunt Milly. I will try to do a better job of listening to voice mails in the future, but I hope you can understand it was a busy time."

Text that and let her have some time to sit with it.[/quote]

No I wouldn't send that. It encourages more voicemails.

"Mom, I'm really sorry I didn't listen to your voice mail. I'm sorry for your loss. When you are ready, I'd love to talk with you about Great Aunt Milly. I will try to do a better job of responding quicker in the future, but I hope you can understand it was a busy time. Please text if something is urgent."[/quote]

oh so it's on the mom to accommodate the daughter? You realize this texting culture is very hard for some elderly people since it's fairly new to them and they've been communicating verbally for 70 years?[/quote]

Well if it was important to Mom, she should’ve called again. Not stewed and stewed for a week with all her free time and then blow a gasket. [/quote]

Except you don't know that she stewed and stewed. From what I could read, mom assumed that her daughter listened to the VM and only got annoyed when she found out that her daughter couldn't even take 2 min out of her day to listen to the VM. Stop making stuff up.[/quote]
