How many texts can someone read per day?
How many texts do you want from your kids? 100 per day? Is this normal? SDs 19 & 16 text DH every time they fart! He left his i pad here so it dings every time they share a text. They have an ongoing group text. Its constant when they leave & get somewhere...and we know you all love each other. Examples:
Im leaving for school. Love u
Ok love u too
Im at school. Love you
Ok love u.
Im at work love u
Ok love u
Leaving school love u
Ok love u
Leaving work love u
ok love u
Getting my nails done. Love u
Ok love u
Leaving nail place. Love u
Ok love u
Is there food?
Yes. Love u
Ok coming home love u.
They get home and dont say a word to each other. Sometimes hello. Sometimes they walk in go upstairs close the door and text him.
Glad i raised my kids on flip phones. My son got texting in 8th grade but we called more cuzit was easier. My other son still barely texts but he calls me a couple times a day. He lives out of town from me.

It's enmeshed and weird. The "love u's" alone are weird.
... That's just creepy. Too.
... That's just creepy. Too. Much.
I'm still creeped out just
I'm still creeped out just from reading it. I'd punch DH if he did that to me, much less his kid. WTF? Why do you need to tell someone you love them 400 times a day?
I'm all for loving each other
I'm all for loving each other and saying it.. .But this is BEYOND excessive. I'm thinking like. Oh you're headed out? "Love you! Be safe!" Not. "I took a breath, love u."
There's no reason someone needs to be THAT informed, let alone say I love you at the end of EVERYTHING!
I'm cringing.
Seriously. DH and I email
Seriously. DH and I email back and forth during the day and most days, don't say "love you" even once. Sheesh, it's like a 7th grade romance.
We say it... But in the 3
We say it... But in the 3 hours we've both been up... It's probably been said like twice... by both of us... Once when we first got up and the other I used in the "you're an idiot" way... But he didn't get that so he just said it back. lol
Call me jaded, but I feel
Call me jaded, but I feel that throwing I love yous around cheapens the sentiment.
Don't tell me, make it a verb and show me.
I learned this from The Coven. They say I love you all the time, but their actions say something quite different.
THat's not jaded. The word
THat's not jaded. The word means nothing if it's not followed with actions. Love is VERY overused which causes it to lose most of it's meaning anyways. I mean we say we LOVE food, LOVE cars, LOVE certain activities, LOVE friends, etc. I'm not saying we can't love those things. But when you "love" everything, it doesn't mean as much.
Mmmm food. I do love food...
Mmmm food. I do love food....more than the skids
Screams insecure teenage
Screams insecure teenage romance to me.
It goes on ALL. DAY. LONG.
It goes on ALL. DAY. LONG. EVERY. DAY.
They have a terrible fight and then good night love u. Its so fake and it means nothing. Its like a canned greeting. If DH tries to say love u to me after a fight he gets a big F you.
Im sooooo not fake and maybe thats why I dont fit in here. I can be fake for a while but then the truth comes out.
You don't fit in because you
You don't fit in because you see that it's unhealthy and not normal for a man to talk to his older-adolescent daughters like they are his 7th grade girlfriends.
Blech.
There are so many reasons I
There are so many reasons I don't fit in
Ew.
Ew.
S**t on this
Enmeshed pat-on-the-head, good dog behavior. They're a little old for this excessive hand-holding with daddy. Up to daddy to say "let go." Funny how they don't seem to have the ability to converse. Is DH a helicopter daddy? Get him one of those hats with a whirly gig thing on top for Valentines Day. Spin. Spin. Spin.
Through the years, SD24 did this over-texting bs to 1) keep her top-of-mind with DH 2) reinforce her neediness thus a dysfunctional ego-stroke for DH 3) to interrupt every moment of our life that she could...dinner, dates, intimate times, waking up, going to sleep, our vacations, etc. etc. We don't deal with it any longer.
The back and forth texts between your DH and SD are sooooo sophomorically stupid that I'd probably start texting DH stuff to "highlight" the ignorant, obsessive behavior.
SM: I'm going to the bathroom. Love you.
DH: what?
SM: I'm wiping now. Love you.
DH: what are you doing?
SM: Flushing. Love you.
Never ending possibilities for pointing out the relentless and ridiculous behavior.
HA! OP, that's a great idea.
HA! OP, that's a great idea. Do it. But don't just stop there - do it for an entire day, with as mundane stuff as you can find

The kids used to read all of
The kids used to read all of our texts to each other until I made him change his password on his phone.
It would be even funnier if they read my texts to him describing farts and pooping habits.
Omg so annoying. SD and DH
Omg so annoying. SD and DH used to say hi to each other every single time that walked past each other. Every. Time. So literally like 50 times a day. They sounded like the seagulls in finding Nemo "hi! hi! hi!" The I love yous were also excessive...it was like they were teen lovers and oblivious to the rest of us being there.
The SDs live with us and dont
The SDs live with us and dont speak to him very much in person. In fact if he greets them when they grace us with their presence in the kitchen he usually gets a whine or a growl.
Now if they want something, that's a different story. Its TALK TO ME NOW, IM SPEAKING. SD16 is way worse than SD19 but when she starts driving more regularly she won't need to speak to him unless it's for money. But apparently her after school answering the phone at a pizza place job will afford her to get her nails and eyebrows done as well as buying her own car since she said she doesnt want my car anymore cuz she hates me. She says she will buy her own car. I think she clears $100/week
That makes it even weirder to
That makes it even weirder to me. And of course it's different when they want something...entitled children.
You are right
Live u. Is a way to just end the text. Goodby, over and out , love u, lu, This is also the result of “ the phone never leaves the hand”. That if they are not texting, they will not know what to do. With said hand, someday they will get cell phone finger and be disable for life
