[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL.  I do not respond to texts from anyone but my kids and DH.  I respond to emails once in 24-48 hours. I do not respond at all to FB status etc.  If I get a direct message from FB - I still respond only within 24-48 hours.

Unless, I pick up the phone when you call - you can assume that I will get your voicemail in 24 hours.

Yes, everything is pretty much instantaneous, but I am not going to be available at all times for anyone's convenience but my immediate family.

My texts to my kids is also very short. It is to the extent of - "I am waiting outside the school, soccer complex etc.". or "I am running 10 minutes late".  There is no reason for me to be texting otherwise.

I have friends who send group texts with jokes etc., I usually will not respond to it.  I think a response is to be expected only if you need an answer from me.

I also feel that I do not have to chime in when group announcements are sent. Unless it is a life and death situation.

You sound unapproachable. I get not being on a device 24-7 but it sounds like you don't ever want to be available to anyone but your kids -- unless you accidentally happen to pick up the phone when someone calls though I'm guessing you screen calls too. It would be exhausting to be your friend.[/quote]

Not the pp to whom you are responding, but  Nah  -- this is just the way grown-ass folks communicated and had lives way before the "text" was even invented. Get a life young' un![/quote]
