What are your family chats called

[Coxlie]

We have two

WEEK A FAM - (50/50 custody split)

OG FAM - (slang for original gangsters, group chat with just my ex and kids, set up by the teens obviously 🤦‍♀️)

When DS3 got his mobile phone aged 11 on Christmas day he set up 'everyone' a funfilled family chat with all his grandparents. Including his step granny.
DHs parents hadn't spoken for 25 years since grandad run off with Granny's best friend (step granny).
Let's just say "everyone* becomes "no one" very quickly 😂

#fam for my kids, mum sis and nieces nephews etc
#myfam for dh and dc

And I forgot # grownups for my mum,me and dsis's

Our surname starts with an A so our family group is called The A….Family with a picture of the TV Addams Family.
Of course I’m Morticia, daaaahling.

DH, me and our 2 adult D.C., a silly phrase about food that is a family joke. We post every day, mainly silly photos or just updates as we live a long way apart
DH me our eldest and partner, her favourite Disney ride/movie
My whole family, the name of the village we came from and “- hello calling home” daily messages on here too.
We also have some sub groups like Just Girls which is me, my sister our mum and sister in law, not our daughters though
DH and his family just use The Surname with an s on the end but they have no imagination, they also hardly ever post.

We have several.
Those in da house - for those that currently live here
Originals - for those who lived here as the dc were growing up (eg all of us but not partners)
The Whole Lot - includes partners
Then we have wider family ones using names of the families, for siblings and cousins on both sides
Then each of dc has one just with us under various titles like "Favourite child and the rents"
I'm fairly confident the dc also have them just for them, then them and partners, then them and cousins, etc.

I agree with her about the notifications

Is this a real question?

mums name as she is not tech savvy and will only see if we show her and its only used if we are with her eg we were on holiday and she was sat on the pier with a cone and took a pic, she bought herself a ready stupid looking oodie, for DB and 2DC to see. 1 works overseas and keeps them in the loop

We used to have 'Family' until DH passed away. We kept that one as didn't want to lose it but started the 'Home' one for me, ds & dd. We just send daily chit chat from work or when we're out (separately). I need to know where they are all the time as I panic that I'll lose them suddenly too! 😥We also have 'Kitkat' for all of our kitty cat pics. 😸💝

Surname19 'cos there are 19 of us (my Dad, my brothers and sisters, SIL, BIL and nieces and nephews. Not very imaginative.

For the previous poster who asked, we use it for general chat and sharing family news. We wish each other a happy birthday on the relevant day. Family members share one or two photos if they're on holidays etc. At Christmas we post our wishlists. And sometimes we embarrass DNieces and DNephews by posting cute baby photos . Occasinonally we post old news articles or photos about the area whwre we grew up. It's used enough that we maintain friendly contact but not so much that it's intrusive.

Only issue is that Dad keeps accidentally blocking it, so he misses out on things we thought he knew.

Family bitches

Family Antics

Surname with z on the end - like Simpsonz (don't know why).

'Family' (me, DH, DD and DS) and 'Family without DS' (set up by DD because she thinks she's funny)

Blimey, there's a whole new level of family interaction I've no clue about. Same as with Zoom during covid...

I have a weekly call with my mum and pop in on the inlaws sometimes and they're not that keen on that level of closeness.

(Maiden name, which begins with F) Family Fun for my parents, DH, DSis and BiL. (Married name) Family for DH's family. Not very original.

Siblings group - 7 Owls in a Trenchcoat
Siblings, everone's partners and our parents- Hoard of Geese
One side of our extended family- Spawn of (long dead great grandmothers name)

Family Planning!

We have one that's our surname, with me, my mum and my teens in. The name was originally a mash up of all our surnames, then DC and I changed ours by deedpoll so it actually is our name now.

DC and I have one called "fam-a-lam-a-ding-dong"

We've got one on messenger called "Grandad" where my mum keeps my brothers and I up to date on news about Grandad.

My Dad made one last week called "us" with him, my younger brother and me. It was for a specific purpose and I suspect we won't use our again.

And we've got one on messenger which is my brothers and me, it doesn't have a name and we rarely use it.

Ours is called Family Virtual Meeting. I set it up at the start of Covid for me, my children, my parents and my brother. During lockdowns we used it for video chats or for anything we might usually have said at family get-togethers and couldn't.

Now it mostly gets used for arranging family meals, Christmas, birthdays etc. Or for sharing news such as exam results or anything that involves the whole family.

We are EuroHuns as we are off on a European holiday all together this summer. It used to be Hundamental family business (the use of hun is very much tongue in cheek!!)

Family name, accidentally misspelled by a DC who set it up.

There are a few, but my favourite is the one that is just my Aunt, Cousin and I which is named "The Slipper" because we were all threatened with the slipper for being the naughty ones.
