Texting Your Kids at 50+

I have three boys, a daughter in love, and nieces and nephews that I text on a regular basis.

Although they know I'm not in their age bracket, sometimes they forget and text me as if they're texting their friends. The letter combinations and words they use can be very hard to decipher.

Take a look at some of these texting abbreviations below. It's a whole new language! One that I'm not very good at speaking. 😂

I feel like parents should have their own text abbreviations for their kids. Maybe that would help them understand their rules better. What do you think about these?
