Ever Get a Text You Weren't Suppose To?

[Mom_of_two]

LOVE Nan's response!!! LOL.
Made me sad to read this!! Waffles are a nice breakfast. We had waffles today-haha. And wonder what she would do at home! Sigh. Keep us posted.

How old is DCG? I'd ask Mom how many times in the last month they've been to McDonalds.

We have waffles normally once a week here too! YUM! As long as they're home made and not the frozen kind, I do NOT see a problem.

I would have texted her back and said "yes that's a great idea for you to do breakfast at home for little X. I KNOW she would have having that special time with you every morning and I'm sure you could provide a variety of foods that is more to her liking". AWESOME idea. Let's start that tomorrow.

Love this! :: Kill em with kindness hehe


And I have mistakenly texted the wrong person but nothing bad..so far...however I ALWAYS check when sending the text especially if I am speaking privately of someone..that would be one of my worst nightmares. Sending a racy sexy text meant for my hubby but getting to my MOM

I would absolutely send Nan's text...

My brother and I both have blackberry messenger as well as both our spouses. If we aren't careful we sometimes message each other instead of a spouse, and yes, this has included VERY embarrassing racy things. So embarrassing, but at least we're close enough that we can laugh about it. ::

I have gotten a text from a dcm once at 2:30 in the MORNING saying "are you coming home yet?" Nothing bad, just unfortunate timing. I was pretty p-od that I got woken up by a wrong text number. This woman isn't the brightest, so it wasn't very surprising.

i am always careful what i say in text, much the same as online. I FEAR it being discovered by someone else. Sometimes online if you google the right things, we all know what can happen.

i also figure that since the cell phone companies can see each text, they might be jerks and well, if they wanted to, could probably cause some harm. they would probably be out a job, but most of us know what happens when someone knows they are about to get canned, are canned or whatever else.

i have on occassion sent the wrong text to someone, but nothing was ever bad about it. friends of mine who are married both their names start with the same letter, sometimes while scrolling and then touching the name, the screen jumps a bit, and you might select someones name by accident. usually whoever is right before or after the one you are looking for.

good one

I would have texted her back and said "yes that's a great idea for you to do breakfast at home for little X. I KNOW she would have having that special time with you every morning and I'm sure you could provide a variety of foods that is more to her liking". AWESOME idea. Let's start that tomorrow.

That sounds perfect!

I was setting up breakfast for my early arrivers and I got a text from a parent of one of them (who had just dropped off) that said: "Just dropped off dcg at daycare. They're having waffles for breakfast....again! Maybe I should just feed dcg breakfast at home."

I was confused for half a second before I realized the text was meant for the dcm's husband and not me. I served eggs on Monday (yesterday) and we have belgin waffles once a week as it's always a hit, I'm not sure I see why that was a problem. Who doesn't like waffles?

I didn't reply to the text and I never heard from her after that. The dcd picked up today and I never mentioned the text. I'm pretty sure the mom knew that she had sent the text to the wrong person since she never got a text back from her husband who was suppose to get it.

Anyone have a similar experience? Would you reply back and say 'oops, wrong person' ? Ignore it? Serve waffles tomorrow and proudly show to dcm? I'm just kidding on that last part......really.....

Oh no I would def reply to that. I would have said we only serve waffles once a week but I like your idea. Thanks for serving your child breakfast from now on this will help my budget.

PERFECT This exactly!! ::

And if dcg ate at home I'm fairly sure she'd have either instant oatmeal or more likely, cold cereal or a granola bar every day instead of the yummy hot breakfast you're making!

I bet dcm has an idea that waffles are bad/unhealthy.

[Cat Herder]

There is NO WAY that I could have stopped myself from responding! I like Nan's response alot!

I had to cut him a break..... He was recently divorced and trying to get back into the dating scene. Obviously he was just a bit overzealous....::::::

Nan, your response would have been perfect!! I fear he would have moved to another state if I had gone there, though... He actually had his mother do drop-off and pick-ups for a while, big baby. ::::

Yup!

I don't provide breakfast but wow! What an ingrate!

[momofboys]

I may not have replied but I WOULD make a lot of subtle hints to her about how you vary your breakfast each week & NEVER serve the same items too frequently. Gee whiz I'd be ticked!

Update

So DCM dropped off this morning and dcg (3.5yo) had a half finished baggie of fruit loops in her hands. Mom is extra sugary nice and explains that dcg begged for the cereal this morning. Dcg quickly hands mom back the baggie and rushes to play with another child and the baby dolls.

DCM: "Here, 'L', come and get your cereal, mommy has to leave for work"
DCG: "Can you keep it in the car for when you pick me up, Mommy? I'm not hungry anymore."
DCM: "Sure, 'L'."

(DCM leaves and 'L' immediately asks what's for breakfast)

DCG: "Mommy only gave me cereal, Miss. And she forgot the milk! Isn't that mean?" (stands in front of me with her hands on her hips and her signature 'teenage' face)
Me: "No milk?! Silly mommy! We are having bagels and oranges, would you like some?"
DCG: "Yes, please."

I love my kids.


Thanks for the suggestions (especially Nannyde and catherder) everyone. I'm saving this entire threat for future reference!
