I'm So Embarrassed.......I Did It Again :(

[queenbee]

About a year ago I sent a text - that was meant for my younger sister - to one of my most professional, highly educated parents. If anyone has any younger siblings.......you know the way you tease and taunt them isn't professional AT ALL

I text the parent back with "Oops, that was meant for another person. So sorry!" But, I still felt really, really stupid for a couple of weeks anytime I'd see the parent.

Well tonight, I did it AGAIN.

What was meant for my brother, was accidentally sent to a highly religious parent I have. The text said "You jerk!". I was wondering why my brother hadn't texted back when I received a text back from the parent that said "Excuse me?".

I'm taking the texting plan off of my phone. Tonight!

Has this happened to anyone else or am I the only one starting the new year off with a bad start?

Yes, it happens ALL the time. I would think these "highly intelligent" parents would have the same thing happen to them from time to time. I would just text the parents that it was for someone else in jest. I wouldn't worry about it.

I've done it a few times. My phone has a bunch of cracks in it from dropping it and I can't see the whole screen. Until I can get new one, I've tried to refrain from texting and only send emails or facebook messages.

Yep I was texting my husband. I texted "Lies!!!" to one of my daycare mom's, LOL! I immediately noticed who I sent it to and sent a follow up apologizing for the mix up! She never mentioned it.

It happens to everyone at some point. I wouldn't be so drastic as to remove my text plan. If you are really worried it will happen again maybe you could remove the parent from the contact list and store the number in the note pad section so you still have it available yet it has no chance of getting a text.

In times like these I get overly upset too and sometimes to the point I can't even sleep. This is when I try to remember "This too shall pass" You will be laughing at this a month from now.

I think I did this one time.....texted to a DCM and it was meant for my assistant but it wasn't anything embarassing. I am really careful to always double check before hitting send though!

I don't text that often. So far, I've never done it.

I had a parent text me information meant for her MIL about bailing the DCDad out of jail. I thought about pretending it didn't happen but was afraid that if the MIL didn't get the info the dad would be sitting there a long time. DCMom was so embarrassed. It happens to us all.

My ex texts me all the time instead of one of his buddies. I make fun of him for it at every opportunity.

I got a text one night from a daycare mom. It said "I see you with her, you Wh***, why dont you just go home with her?" I replied, "i think you may have mistexted" she replied "F^#* you, you &#$( I #&$&" basically. I wrote "this is your daycare provider, its 3am please stop texting me" She wrote "oh you are with her now, i always knew you liked her!"

I turned off my phone at this point, was in shock ( as this is a "highly professional family") and I never got a sorry from that. I never commented on it, but she also never looked me in the eye again.

I am sure parents understand. I make sure i erase texts so i dont accidentally reply to the wrong person or pocket dial!

I recently had an entire text conversation with a DCM thinking it was my GF both same first names I didn't say anything rude just wasn't the way I would speak to a DCM I asked what she was doing, if she was free to get together, I have a work out top she would like... She said she was at her in
Laws, I said perfect they are just down the street I will pop in there --- that's when we realized it was a mistake

[Qpmomma]

The other day I sent an "I love you" text to my husband, or so I thought. My mom texted me back with "Aw, I love you to sweetie." , yeah, love you to mom!

Happens ALL the time!

Omg! Too funny!

Thank you for cheering me up everyone! I was convinced I was the only one who did this kind of thing.

I'm so not looking forward to seeing the DCM on Wednesday when she drops off. It'll be so awkward and I am not good in awkward situations.

Thanks again everyone

At least it was your mother. We all love our mothers. This could have turned out far worse. You could have text'd your accountant
