Magnific

Communication matters most during difficult times.

In this story, a woman just had a traumatic birth, and her baby is in the NICU.

She spends long hours at the hospital with poor wifi, but her dad keeps messaging her on Facebook instead of texting.

Even after asking him multiple times to switch, he continues ignoring her request.

Don’t you find that annoying, too? Read the full story below to find out more.

AITA for telling my dad I will no longer be responding to his Facebook messages?

I just had a baby. It was an incredibly traumatic birth.

He is in the NICU for the foreseeable future.

I will be spending a significant amount of time at the hospital.

I want to be with him until I can take him home.

This woman told her father to stop sending Facebook messages and just call or text her normally.

The hospital has terrible WiFi.

My dad keeps sending me Facebook messages. He does this instead of texting and calling like most people do.

I have now told him 4 times that this is inconvenient for me.

He promises to text. Then, he immediately sends another Facebook message.

She decided to mute their conversation.

Today, I told him that I am muting our conversation. I said I will only be responding to normal texts or calls from him going forward.

For context, he knows how to text normally.

This is the hardest time of my life. He is being an annoyance.

AITA for muting our Facebook conversation?

OP is dealing with an incredibly stressful situation already. And honestly, the last thing she needed was an unnecessary frustration over communication.

She clearly explained to her dad what works best for her, so I think setting that boundary was completely reasonable.

When you’re in the hospital, the real emergency shouldn’t be finding a Wi-Fi connection.
