[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you expect more from them?  My ILs texted me their condolences when my father died.  That's it.  I didn't expect them to do anything else.

This world is so uncivil and uncaring. What in the fresh hell? A text about a parent dying is what is acceptable?  When friends have lost parents, we send flowers or food. A card at the very least. My husband has flown to funerals to show his respect (there and back in one day). All I can say is that a bunch of you are seriously low class. A text? LOL[/quote]

I agree. People need to be kinder to their relatives. I can't even imagine sending a text to say "Sorry!" It's a crap move. 
My coworker just lost his wife and I sent him a card and did a donation and people on here would say that's too much. I think we need to get back to acknowledging these significant events and caring about each other more. [/quote]

Maybe this is generational.  I don't think texts are inherently rude.  It's the thought and content that counts, not the medium[/quote]
