[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 42 and I refuse to facetime.  It's ridiculous and a horrible way to communicate.  Just send pictures of your kid to them.  Show your kid pictures of your parents if you feel like it.  Don't force anyone to use Facetime![/quote]

I’m in this camp 100%.  I’m not a fan of “talking” with toddlers on the phone either.  [/quote]

You must be my inlaws. Idk why it bothers me that they don't want to talk to my 3.5 year old (technically a "preschooler") but she's perfectly capable of interesting conversations. For instance she just had my best friend tell her a story about how she woke up late and barely made her plane and had to run. She wants to go on vacation to meet mermaids. She also talks about Disney characters like their real people though, so there's that. Even my two year old likes to talk for a few minutes if an adult is willing to talk to him. Sure his grammar isn't there, but that's what conversations work on. I'm only asking for 5 minutes with grandparents. I listen about their colonoscopy prep, so the least they can do is listen to my toddlers cute stories. [/quote]

They cannot hear her.  Kids voices are higher pitched.  And while you are used to it, they are not.  As you get older, your hearing suffers and phone calls become more difficult, especially with kids.  I have listened in to a call with my son and my parents and it is obvious they have no idea what he is saying.  And then they get frusterated and want to get off the phone.  [/quote]
