This Instagram Page Is Dedicated To The Weirdest And Funniest Texts From Family And Here Are 50 Of The Best Ones
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From dad jokes to moms sending their children some outdated memes, this page is a gold mine for cringe and hilarious content.

Neeeeear, faaaaar, whereeeeever you areeeee 🎶 And the chicken sinks like the Titanic
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 also wear two different shoes, way too hard to fit into one anymore
With that being said, the 'unspirational' page "yourshi*tyfamily" has over 1,468 posts on Instagram. So all of us can find joy in our mundane lives knowing that our family might not be the craziest one out there (or is it?).
Tell us, Pandas, what strange, bizarre or even awkwardly hilarious texts have you received from your family? We'd love for you to share your stories in the comments as well!

Or pick a date you can't possibly forget...my parents were married on July 4th. We're not American, so it's not a significant date here but it's also impossible to forget.

I don't blame him. I'm only early 30s and I can't remember important dates for the life of me. Have to put everything in my calendar. Even then I struggle to remember to put everything in my calendar.

I know I'm a horrible person, but I would intentionally give the wrong date then sit back and watch the world burn

My dad asked me to discretely find out the birthday of one of his sisters. I asked his other sister. I had to swear her to secrecy. She thought it was hilarious.

I'd just ask the person directly, and if they are offended, I'd say "no, I know the day and month, I want to put the year in my calendar, for anniversaries etc.". Then I'd do exactly that, but for most of my family, those things are already in the data base.

My mum purposely chose to get married the day before my dads birthday so he would never forget the date! 33 years on and it's worked, he's never forgotten!

This is why my husband and I had our wedding date engraved in our rings!

pretend to be having a bet with your friend on which day of the week your parents were married and ask your mom to settle it. Then, you can just match the date using the internet and hope that your dad didn't get the year wrong as well!

Him: “I booked us dinner reservations for September 5th!” Her: “That’s a great way to celebrate our anniversary!” Him: “I know!” OR: Him: “I booked us dinner reservations for September 5th!” Her:”But our anniversary is the 6th.” Him: “I know, but I couldn’t get reservations on the 6th.”

One of the best gifts to give the groom is a framed picture of their wedding invitation. He can hang in the hallway and when he needs to remember the date there it is.

My parents are the opposite: they celebrate when they began dating, when they got engaged and their anniversary. I realised it as an adult and they'd go "missing" in the middle of the week, out for dinner or so. I noticed a pattern and the elusive answer "aah we were on a date". I moved out 13 years ago... I call them now on these dates :-D

I personally have no aptitude for remembering special dates. It was hard enough remembering my birthday, the wife’s, our anniversary, and the kid’s birthday. Thank goodness for the divorce. Made my life easier.

Hehe my parents were married on the 6th of September! Though it’s actually usually my mum who forgets the date lol
Let’s Be Kind 3 years ago
My mom’s birthday is September 3rd and their anniversary is the 5th, I used to get them mixed up until I just put both dates in my phone calendar, recurring!

Another strategy. If it happen to be on the 6th, celebrate as usual. If it is on the seventh, say you thought today is 7th.

"It was 6th Oct" - Mom................ Husband: Offf... time to skip dinner for few days

My mom said I should marry my husband on his birthday, and he'll never forget it.

Yep, always pick an easy date, no one wants to remember 26/10/1987 (sorry if that is your actual wedding day!) symmetry makes it easier, 20/02/2002 for example.

For sure it was on the 5th if it was asked on the 6th :) You're f*d :D

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!

So many #momgoals moments here. My poor 5 year old has no idea what kind of sassy karma is in store for him!

I think I entered full mom mode a couple weeks ago. I was picking up my kids from after school program, my 7yr old daughter told me to stop "goofing around, I was embarrassing her". I was hugging her, kissing her on the cheek and just being a goof. While my son(6m) was trying to climbing on my back, trying to kiss my cheek. I have great balance, no danger.
