["I don't like how older kids ignore your messages.", 'It can be infuriating.  Do you call or send texts?', 'I send texts. He is my step-son. I tried to give him new furniture, and he just ignored the text.']
My Mom sends me texts a lot.  But I'm not always looking at my phone.  When she calls though I usually answer.
I was trying to do something nice for my son and give him some furniture, but you know how teenagers are. They never answer their phones, and he decided that he was going to ignore me.
