My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

    It was so expected that you immediately start digging your heels in. You don’t even understand that your behaviour is problematic.

    You did „train“ your son (and probably a lot of other people) very well, by imposing your completely arbitrary definition of what you consider communication etiquette, by demanding they always (sic!) adhere to your rules, and by demonstrating that you do not respect other people’s, rules, choices, idiosyncrasies, and boundaries.

    You’re the one who is incredibly rude and pedantic, but somehow it’s always the other people who are wrong.

    It’s no wonder he doesn’t react to your calls. I wouldn’t either.

    PS: how exactly were you „trained“ to send text messages. I’m old enough to have lived without computers. Do you know how quick people reacted to you when they were busy? Right, they didn’t.

      Just for the record, because you’re mostly just foaming at the mouth at this point, and have never met me, or know anything about me to make the presumptions you’re making, but my son is his own person, and he never responds back quickly.

      And when I talk to him about it he understands my position but he disagrees with me.

      I feel it’s a disrespect, but I honor him and let him do whatever he wants as he’s his own person.

      I would just reiterate if you allow somebody an avenue to communicate with you, it’s rude when they try to communicate with you and you don’t respond.

        Right, next page in the playbook: declaring criticism as emotional and irrational so you can continue ignoring it.

        and have never met me, or know anything about me to make the presumptions you’re making

        Don’t worry. You’ve been quite vocal enough here to judge you. The fact that you completely fail to understand the concept of „consent“ speaks volumes already.

        I feel it’s a disrespect, but I honor him and let him do whatever he wants as he’s his own person.

        Nothing says you’re totally cool with things like going on to whine about how disrespected you feel to total strangers on the internet, lol.

        I would just reiterate if you allow somebody an avenue to communicate with you, it’s rude when they try to communicate with you and you don’t respond.

        What is it now, just moments ago he didn’t respond in a „timely matter“, now he doesn’t respond at all.

        I would just like to reiterate that it’s not your right to decide if, when, and how other people respond to your communication attempts. But again, you’ve already established you do not understand consent.
