Mom and sis just bought Macs and want to set up I chat feature with my fam. I am annoyed and feel like it is just one more thing I will have to manage...I talk to them frequently, keep a photo blog of ds, etc. This just feels over the top for me, but am I being ridiculous? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

np: well, there is no reason you need to do it at the same time, but your mom probably doesn't understand that. sounds like it's time to screen your calls and call her back when you have time to formulate a reply. [ Reply | More

np: and just tell them that you are NOT, under any terms, available to chat at work (and stick to it). They can certainly call if it's an emergency. You need to stop letting them walk all over you. [ Reply | More

They want to videochat with me and ds, of course. It just all feels so much to me...we keep a blog so they have recent photos of him, we talk every day...I just resent now having to hold ds captive in front of the computer for them to "chat" with him. He's only 11 m/o! It will just become another annoying thing for me [ Reply | More
