It’s not bad enough that we can’t have a full normal conversation with our teen… but now even when we talk to them on their digital turf, via text, we still get shunned.
me: I know you read those texts…
Jack: So?
me: So… answer back. Why do you read my texts and not answer? It’s not hard to say good morning ya know.
Jack: You text at the most inopportune times!
me: Morning is inopportune?
Jack: Whenever is inopportune.
me: Grrrr. And “bruh” is not an acceptable replacement for “good morning”…
