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

Yes, most recent activity was me sending the following video and my Dad responding “Truly enriching. Thank you”

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”

Have one on FB Messenger with the closest family as well as one with my mum’s entire family (ie. my uncles and aunts and cousins). Also have a cousins snapchat group.

I have one with my mum and my brothers girlfriend cause she’s trying to crochet and she’s shit at it so keeps sending us the things we make.

My dad felt super left out that I only sent holiday pics to my mums phone (although I get a response from him VIA my mums phone?) so I set up a chat with them two and they aint into it. Just usually get an “ok” after I write something to both of them.
Same thing happens when I call to chat to my mum. He gets upset that I don’t wanna talk to him so i’m like “ok cool lets chat what you got?” and he’s like “ahh forget it” and hands the phone over.

No, thank the fucking lord.

The TVGF added me to her family’s whatsapp chat and said it was ok for me to mute it, saying she’d keep me up to date with anything important.

She’s slagging me off on there, isn’t she?

Nope. Dad’s only got an old phone. Brother is useless at keeping in touch and won’t even respond to direct messages.

My Dad is on FB. But never posts and just uses it to track down far flung relatives and try and initiate contact with them. They don’t respond.

I/we have one consisting of:

Mother
Father
Sister
Brother in law
Aunt
Boyfriend

My boyfriend being in it is very useful, but I can tell he gets tired of their inane babble. Although it’s great for my parents sending pictures like this
