+1. While I am sure PBP's daughter is doing her best in her world, the fact that text communication for even those tasks bothers me. It makes it to easy to just send a text and say that you have fulfilled your responsibility and that the ball is in the other guy's court now. Also, the niceties she says texting avoids are what help us to view each other as human beings with lives, and therefore treat each other with more respect. The niceties are actually important in my opinion.
PBP, please do not take the above as a criticism of your daughter. I am sure she is just doing what she feels or is told is expected of her. I am just criticizing the trend in human communication.
