Everybody in the lounge had to hear him rant about the custody battle.
I think if a person wants to speak with me, they should call. If I am available, I will answer. If not, they can leave a message and I will call them back.
The text method feels like they are putting the burden of initiating the call on me, when they are the ones who want to speak with me.Emotionally, your reaction is understandable. You feel that the texters have assigned you homework, while your reaction to the message-leavers is ameliorated by regret that you were unavailable when they wanted to speak with you.
Miss Manners says this as a gentle preface to pointing out that, for the reasons you gave, the text is less intrusive — and therefore more respectful — than barging in on someone, assuming constant availability.I have two young kids. For their birthdays and Christmas over the past few years, my sister-in-law has been giving my kids used/outgrown toys and clothes from her daughter, who is older than my kids.
But what level of gift? Miss Manners recognizes she is unusual in valuing a gift by the thought and effort of the gift-giver, not its resale value. But under either standard, hand-me-downs are not generally as meaningful a gift as might be expected for a birthday or holiday.
