Only occasionally for a few seconds until I figure out again how to get out of it. I hate them......

....the group texts, not the family.

I have an active sibling group text. We range in age from 68-78 and we share everything from memes to family pics, tales from the old days, current events, you name it. We are spread out in the SE US so it really is nice to be able to touch base just about every day.

Used to but was ruined by people that thought Trump gave a shite about them vs people thinking Biden/Carmelo giving a shite about them.

In reality, none of these with strong opinions are better off.

Yes for Christmas every year my aunt adds everone in the family. The problem for me is currently I am 7 hours ahead so texts start going off at 2-3 am in the morning. I have to remember to mute the chat before going to bed.

That many similar but separate threads runs you at great risk of drama

F that.

I am not apart of any group texts. The constant texts get really aggravating

I have never been a part of group text, outside of work, during Covid.

Like 6 just with my siblings
1 with both siblings and mom
+2 for one with each sibling and mom

Double that for my dad.

Then the awkward one my oldest made with me+ wife + all siblings + mom + dad. No one responds to that one, oldest just sends things (still doesn’t understand why grandma and grandpa hate each other)

Then there’s the ones for my wife’s side of the family.

I can't imagine having my phone make any noise when I get a message of any kind. Vibrate, maybe.

Our pickleball group, but then the ladies started using it for recipes, weather alerts, etc. So I had to mute it.

I’ve always worried that if I leave one of those family text chains, it would show up saying “this person has left the chat”

My wife’s family group text is silent for that very reason.
Have one for both my side and wife’s side.

Both muted.
