My niece has discovered texting!!!

[mstang67chic]

OMG!!! This child is driving me batty!!! I have 27 texts in my inbox from her from the past couple of hours. That doesn't count the 10 or so I've already erased. In the middle of all of that I got a text from her mom that said "aren't you glad she has your number? lol" Grrrrrrrrrr!!! I can see why they got her a phone....she has extra cirricular activities and could need it for rides and such. But she's 12!!! I hope they have unlimited texting!!! LOL

My other sister in law is here and got a bunch too. Then we gave her husband's number! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ohhhh- that is when you make the kid earn the money to pay for the fee!!!

Oh, my. Maybe you need to say something to her or her mom??

Jess got a phone at 11. Mostly because she was having serious health issues and I was terrified she would be out somewhere and not be able to get help.

I am SO glad we disabled the texting!!!!

Sorry about all the texts. Can you refuse them or something?

One thing I did not realize until I had my 13 year old niece and her friends around is if you do not read a text the minute is comes in, it disappears into cyber space never to be seen again---LOL---I'm going to invent some sort of hand hold that will permantly attach a phone to a teenage girls hand!!!

Good luck with that, mstang! When we got our phones, we had 50 free texts. For some reason, we couldn't disable the texts on Miss KT's phone, so we went to unlimited. It was either that or break her thumbs. Isn't is amazing the amount of useless info they can transmit?

Yep, yep, yep.....the teens know how to text away! I hope they have unlimited too.......OUCH!

 

[skeeter]

my text messages don't disappear, they are in my "in" box until I delete them. Of course, I have a fairly old phone.

We have unlimited. Good thing because my daughter in law manages to have several hundred a month, and that's when my son WASN'T in the country and able to receive them!!

Texting is a whole sport of its own and some kids are experts at it.
