I can totally picture some of the people in this story from Reddit’s “Am I the *******?” page saying that to the man who wrote it.
But does he deserve the criticism he’s getting?
Check out his story and see what you think.
“I’m planning a family Thanksgiving vacation and a really good deal came up to go to the Cook Islands.
I emailed my son 20 y/o Ollie on Friday and called Sunday to see if he wanted to go.
He’s in college and I’m not wasting money on a ticket if he didn’t want to go.
I needed to know by today because I have to get visas for my 16, 11 and 8yo sons.
No response, huh?
Well he didn’t so I bought the package.
Just now he texted me saying he wanted to go. I said too late. Already bought the tickets.
Next time check your email or answer your phone.
He said most people communicate on text. I said well most people don’t get to go to the Cook Islands.
Now he’s getting an earful.
Now his mom/my ex is trying to tell me that he’s Gen Z and text is their primary communication format.
Had I texted him, then he would had responded.
I said I don’t care.
I’m well in my 40s and check my ALL of my communication formats because I don’t want to miss anything.”
And here’s what people said about this story on Reddit.
This person didn’t hold back.
Another reader called him an *******.
This person spoke up.
Another said this guy is giving off Boomer energy.
Andone reader nailed it.
He probably did his son a favor!
This guy sounds like a nightmare!
