Family group chats are either completely silent except for birthday wishes every few days, or the place where all the family drama happens; there is no in between. It really all depends on the family, how close they are, and how comfortable they are to air all their dirty laundry on a shared group chat …

‘You texted at 5:30pm to say you’d be working late, and she was freaked out by 6:30pm? That’s…not healthy’: Husband doesn’t reply to wife’s text for 1 hour, she flips out and considers calling the authorities
In the words of a disgraced rapper, «Soon as you see the text, reply me.» And some people live by that. Some folks can’t stand to sit on a text. Their wheels will immediately start to spin, and anxiety will creep up their necks. They can’t stand to wait even an hour for a reply. …

Nothing is scarier than two 18-year-old girls in a catfight, they’re a whole different level of mean and fierce! I don’t know what makes so many 18-year-olds think they’re always in the right, but we’ve all been there… as much as we try to forget it. This trio spent most afternoons at the mall: window …

‘I am done being the family’s unofficial secretary’: Woman deemed ‘communicator’ of family group chat misses aunt’s medical emergency due to work, entire group chat tries to guilt her into staying in the chat
We are in the digital age: Constantly reachable, surveilled, and heard from every person in and out of our lives. The little mini computer in your pocket is to blame, and for better or for worse, we can’t live without them. The world has transformed in such a way that it forces us to need …

The Most Entertaining Parenting Texts of the Week (July 1, 2025)
I have not had full-time group chat commitments since I was a teenager. Although I was annoyed by the amount of maintenance required for the average teen group chat in the mid-2010s, those chats were highly entertaining. There was always a stupid meme or random incident that group chat members could discuss 24 hours a …

Happy Belated Father’s Day! If there’s one thing I know about dads, it’s that they’re usually not as good at texting as moms. That doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be celebrated just the same! Mother’s Day was first legally recognized as a holiday in 1914 by Woodrow Wilson, but Father’s Day wasn’t recognized as …

You can tell a lot about somebody’s relationship with their mom based on how they text her on Mother’s Day. I didn’t exactly text my mom on Mother’s Day because I FaceTimed her instead. I would find it kind of odd if I only said «Happy Mother’s Day» over text instead of with my own …

If we’ve learned anything from perusing the various text conversations between strangers on the internet and their parents, it’s that some texting habits need to be nipped in the bud as soon as possible. When I was in college, I had to tell my mom to stop tracking my location and asking about why I …

No parent is perfect. Every mom or dad will screw up at some point in the 18 years it takes for an infant to become an adult, and best believe it won’t be without consequences for their kid. There is endless writing and posting about being a parent to a child; I’m less interested in …

When I think of the ultimate parenting failure, I think of Billy Bigelow. He is the protagonist (and antagonist) of the musical Carousel, and ding dong, does he have high highs and low lows. He finds out his wife (whom he constantly mistreats) is pregnant, steals money to provide for his future child, and ends …
