[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 652640, member: 1157"] Texting/FB messaging is the standard of communication for this generation, I've sort of gotten used to that. With my kids especially, sometimes I prefer it vs. a phone call, because I have time to think about my response before I send it. She probably didn't think a phone call was worth it - in her mind, she was looking for a plan for the cat, and that was it. I know it feels discourteous to you to have text vs. a phone call, but in this generation's mind it's perfectly normal. So many of them seem to look at an actual phone call as a nuisance - and to be honest, I'm beginning to feel that way myself, which I never would have thought possible! I used to talk on the phone for hours, now, I avoid it. I agree that it's best to leave it to her to follow up. Go on about your business and try not to think about it! [/QUOTE]
