Assuming they’re old enough to have a phone, obviously.

I have to send my daughter reminders to do things all the time because she’s extremely forgetful. She’s not annoyed by that, she’s asked me to do it. And whenever I send her one, I get a read receipt and no reply. And I’ve told her a bunch of times that it’s rude to not reply to texts like that, but she keeps doing it.

It’s driving me crazy. She’s a good kid, but why doesn’t she return texts?!

    Hi, I’m that kid. I usually see the text, don’t want to have to engage in conversation right that second because I’m super-introvert, then forget that I got a message from someone.

    Then the longer time goes, the weirder it feels to reply. So I just don’t.

    My family has gotten used to texting my wife if they need something
