[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you left an important voicemail at a dentist or doctor’s office and they didn’t respond, wouldn’t you follow up?  Same concept here.

Also, it’s very rude to tell someone that a person died over voicemail.[/quote]

No it's not the same.

If somebody dies in my family nobody in my family is leaving a voice mail, how heartless is that. [/quote]

You leave a voice-mail if the person doesn't answer the phone   I'd rather leave a voice mail than text about a death.  I'm young and I use visual voice-mail.  It turns my voice mails into text messages for me to see.  So I read my voice messages.  [/quote]

[b]If a person is busy, you text them. Hey I have something to tell you, not an emergency I'll call you in the AM. [/b]

Okay hon, just wait until you need to take pictures of stuff with your phone and blow them up just to be able to read them. [/quote]

What were all missing Is the OP didn’t listen to the voicemail. She probably would not have responded to her mom’s text. I bet this is not the first one. She  admited that she thought it just said happy Thanksgiving, and then began to explain about her busy week.

Her poor moM was probably expecting a text or a phone call back the whole week, and even during this conversation Mom was expecting OP to say something sympathetic, but then she got berated.

OP, listen to voicemails even if it just says happy third Thanksgiving. ESPECIALLY from your mom. If she can take 45 seconds to give you a call you can take 20 seconds to listen to it.
