Since my parents got on an unlimited everything plan last year, we text back and forth quite a bit. Sometimes it's chain texts or a dirty picture that my dad sends along, or my mom just checking in and seeing how my day is going. It was kinda weird at first, but now it's pretty commong. Usually text with them a little bit every day.

Fuck no. When my parents actually send me a text message I feel so damn violated.

Gaaaahh......

I do text though... Just not with them... Phone only with parents.

I text my mum a couple of times a week. Almost never text dad. I speak to both of them every couple of weeks on the phone.

I text my mom a lot but my dad doesn't even know how. He has a cell phone but only turns it on to check messages at home when on the job.

Yes. Especially if I want a quick answer. If I call it will turn in to a 30 minute time suck.

My dad doesn't use his phone except for work. My mom doesn't know how to text. I sent her a text once and she didn't know how to open it.

So, no.

I text with my dad now that he has an iPhone. My mom can barely check her voicemail, so not with her.

No.

1) I gave up my cell phone this year.

2) I never had texting enabled when I did have a cell phone.

3) Both parents have been dead for MANY years...it'd take a fabulous cell phone plan to allow such texting.

I burn through about 250 texts and 1600 minutes a month on my mobile.


None of them are to my parents.

:( Your parents won't be around forever man. Go give your mum a call now, we'll wait. Really, do it.

My mother was murdered when i was 18 months old and I don't know my dad. My grandparents are both in their seventies now so the answer is a very definite "no".

Last text from my mom came after I told her I have another job interview this week: "Y 2 jobs."

And last text from my dad after I jokingly asked him if he's got my mom's new computer built yet: "yep. shes sending and receiving like a bitch"
