With smartphones becoming a thing within the last 10-15 years, we can safely assure you that a whole new realm of humiliation has emerged with the advancement of technology and communication, especially with the rise of social media platforms. As much as we try to avoid it, sometimes when typing a text, we tend to misspell something or even misunderstand the message we received from the person on the other end.

However, sometimes small mistakes, misunderstandings, and a sprinkle of some family drama make up for some of the most entertaining conversations. An Instagram account by the name of "yourshi*tyfamily" collects funny texts between family members and is a perfect example of that.

From dad jokes to moms sending their children some outdated memes, this page is a gold mine for cringe and hilarious content.

The Instagram page has a whopping 923K followers seeking to get their daily dose of family drama and misunderstandings. The account posts the best encounters with parents (usually) and other family members demonstrating they are the world's greatest comedians, taking typically ordinary chats between family members and making them absolutely spectacular.

From a mom acknowledging her sense of fashion might not be the best (to the point of thinking that if something looks cool in her eyes, then it probably needs to be burned on a stake) to children forgetting to thaw the chicken and trying to make their way out of it, this page has you covered for every life situation you might find yourself in. It's taking relatable to a whole new level.

And the best thing about this page? Well, they accept submissions from real-life people just like you and I, so the texts that do get posted are things that actually happened and just got re-shared by the Instagram page. So if you think you have some hilarious texts between your... mom/dad/siblings/step-siblings/uncles/aunts/grandparents and even cousins you visit once a year during a family gathering, well, you better make that submission right now!

I have CDO. It's like OCD, but all the letters are in the right order, like they should be!

I'd talk to my family no matter who I'm with. If I have time to look at my phone I have time to find out what they need. I know there's a day when they won't call any more and don't want to regret just not making a little time for them.

same goes for friends, though. if you constantly push them to the side & make them feel unimportant they'll leave you, & you'll regret not prioritizing them when you're literally spending time together to supposedly hang out. casual chat with dad can wait an hour, he'll understand if you're busy, & if he doesn't understand the need for a social life outside of family, he's probably not the kind of dad you wanna keep contact with anyway. chilling at home? yeah, call dad back. out with friends? dude, set boundaries & find a healthy balance.

Maybe they don't want to be distracted? Personally if I am meeting up with friends i don't like to je ok my phone especially since we barely get to hangout out so unless it important I am most likely not going to respond till later

Or they're following the lessons they were taught of not talking on the phone in front of company.

I always, always answer my Mom's texts. She's a bit hard of hearing so she prefers long WhatsApp messages rather than calling. I prefer it too, to be honest. If I'm busy at the office I'll just send a smile emoji, and she'll answer back saying whether or not it's urgent. If it's super important she calls. Well, a couple of months ago I took more than 12 hours to answer, and I got 2 phone calls one from my brother in law and another from my boyfriend, casually asking if I was OK. "Your Mom says you didn't answer her text...". Mom later explained it had been a really warm day and she thought I had heatstroke or one of my horrible migraines. Poor Mom (I usually turn off my phone if I'm not OK and text her: took my medication, in bed, going to turn off the phone). Since I didn't answer she thought "oh poor Ahimsa she's too unwell to even answer". So she had her "spies" to check up on me. Not just any spies, the spies she knew would not take forever to answer. My siblings will take days to answer.

Just talk with him. Make them jealous on a healthy Father-Kid relationship. Don't give him details just talk with him. Tell him you gonna stay a little bit more with your friends and that you are OK and that you have fun. If he grew you good and invested enough time and energy into you then he have nothing to worry about but still want to talk with you.

See my teenage kids never even bother with texting a reason why they ignored my call. They just don’t answer…ever…unless they want something…

I tend to say bugger when things go wrong and I think I said it a little too often when, years ago my 5yo niece was staying with me for a week. Thank God my brother has a sense of humour LOL

I too would like a rich husband....or a rich wife, I'm not picky. I'll clean the house every day and cook every meal if it means I don't have to work anymore!

Wow.... I just realized that I have never paid this compliment to any of my children... They raised annoying me to an art level.. But not to worry - I annoyed them right back!
