No. My parents basically only turn their mobiles on if they’re making a call or expecting one, so it’d be a bit pointless.

Have one on messenger, but it’s just me, my ma, and my sister, and they mostly use it to share photos of their cats, which obviously I’m totally onboard with.

Yes, My sister uses it to send pics/videos of my Nephew to everyone whilst everyone else uses it to decided on a theme for the Spotify Playlist we stick on in the background when we all get togther for Sunday roasts at my Parents.

Dog playing piano?

My family don’t have much time for needless conversation, so any texts/WhatsApp’s are direct and to the point. One word messages are not uncommon.

#42

Yes. It’s just me, my two siblings and one in-law. As we all live in different countries and time zones, this has proven to be very useful when proper stuff needs to be sorted. Plus baby photos. Who doesn’t like baby photos?

My sister set one up last year for the wider family (cousins, in-law’s brothers and sisters, etc.). Within a few hours this resulted in an endless stream of people sending each other thumbs up emojis. Couldn’t press the ‘leave’ button quick enough.

Ours is about once a week pictures of my baby nephew and occasional dog pictures+comments where my mum pretends to be speaking as the dog (quite creepy)

Gf’s family one I’m in is daily inane chat. Lots of photos of having a glass of wine etc. Her mum posted a job ad for some civil service job this morning, asking if any of us knew anyone interested. They talk on the phone almost every day as well, the weirdos.

Have one with jut my mum and sister. Rarely used apart from planning things or in necessity. Perfect.

#47

Have a feeling there is lots of family chat on WhatsApp but they forget that I exist

#48

Not even on WhatsApp.

Actually the last post was a picture of my dad holding some broad beans he’s grown. Top quality wholesome family content

Have a very successful one with my mum and sisters. Tried to make a similar one with my dad and the first message was ‘Dad has left the group’. Savage.

weve got one for my mam and dad and sister (and my mam has just added gf to it) which is fine, mostly functional. at the moment its primarily updates about mam and dads dogs failing health :disappointed_relieved:

theres also a wider fb chat for my dads side of the family as theyre spread out all over rather than being mostly manchester based like my mams. weve started going camping for a wknd with them every year so it was started as a way of facilitating that but i muted the living shit out of it almost immediately as theyre the gobshitey welsh side, endless chatter and loads of stupid minion stickers and stuff. i think they mainly do it coz they know it winds me up now which, you know, fair dos

^this.

my boyfriends mum opens one for every occasion and it’ll just be like “bbq starting at 7. can someone bring pita breads?”
then a week or so later she’ll start a new one “Dinner for dad’s birthday at 6 on Sunday”
