My friend often waits weeks for a reply to say an invitation. Her daughter even works in IT so there is no excuse, just being bl**dy rude imo.

Texts have always been answered, even by gc. Perhaps if you see each other often the need to respond isn’t there.
We have gained a lot by technology but give me a real conversation any day, I much prefer the landline which my c don’t have.. When people are working and bringing up their families it would be nice to speak to them if it’s not possible to see them.

Same here too ☹️

I have come to the realisation that looking at and responding to texts is not a priority for some and there’s nothing that can be done about it except to have lots of patience. Sometimes I slip and resend the same message again as a reminder.

Ditto! Sad though.

We have a daughter who just never replies, and her sister and both parents are often angry at being ignored. We will have to speak to her about it. After all, it is so quick and easy, it really doesn't take any time at all, so there's no excuse. Sometimes we are waiting days or more for a reply to an actual question we need answered!
