The solution would be to build a stronger relationship so that they do call you for events like that. You’re just putting a bandaid on the real problem, which is a weak relationship, between a mother and daughter no less.
So in your eyes only certain forms of communication equate to a strong relationship?
My mother lives hundreds of miles away, so I speak to her on the phone several times a week. She also posts photos on facebook a couple of times a week which I check out and comment on. I'm grateful for the ability to do both.
I would prefer to use Gab for photo sharing, to support a Christian-run platform rather than a satanic-run one. But in terms of relationship, facebook is my only way to stay up to date with my mother's photos, and those photos are a positive part of our relationship, just as our phone calls are.
Hopefully in the long term more and more people will migrate to Gab, though.
Bullshit but thanks for projecting your home life onto mine ... she isn't even our daughter and our son now lives in another state ... It's not that she didn't call us, it's that she thought to call nobody.
She made some sort of event of Facebook and just expected people to see it ... they communicate differently.
Never said that. For some reason you took my response as an attack. Whatever it is you’re going through, it’s not my problem. Building good relationships is not bad advice, so why act like it is?
These kids have a phone I pay for and use Facebook messenger to make video calls instead of the damn phone.
Ok. I don’t care how you communicate. At least you’re communicating.
Do you even have a point here or did you just have a shitty day?

Very wells said, thank you.

Ok, let me re-phrase the last sentence since you missed the point....
Why is that? You can change that. If you don’t want to, fine.
God forbid you actually build a relationship with your not daughter.
What's a good way to build a relationship .... learn to communicate in ways the other party is comfortable with.

Hey, have it your way though ... I have a bad family life
