It's normally for silly pictures and reminders to rinse the friggin bath after a shower.

DD did 23 and me and found a lot of Irish ancestry so we changed it to O'Family for a joke and it stuck.

DC find it hilarious that my sister and I have a "chat" is it a group chat with two people called Sisters 😂

Ours is the first letters of our first names arranged to make an unflattering word (similar to 'vile' or 'gross' - not putting the real one in case my family are on here)!

We don’t have one. What do you talk about?

On the in law one, it’s random shit… photos, comments on the news, funny things we have encountered, every broken bone I have incurred due to the bloody horses. MIL likes to share
pics of her knitting.

On my family one, updates about my demented mother.

they are very different :)

DH and I have literally just been discussing ‘chats’. He’s thoroughly fed up with having felt compelled to get WhatsApp by his siblings. It’s turned off and I have to tell him when he needs to look in because something important has happened. I was telling him that it’s the only stressy chat I’m on. The others are a cousins one and a friends one. Both rarely prone to long essays unlike the siblings one - NB although it’s called siblings, spouses are on it too

Zebracat · 04/02/2024 00:08

Not saying. Only read this to see if any one else in my family is on MN. Not yet.

soupmaker · 04/02/2024 00:16

Lastname Cousins (on mum's side of the family). There is about 20 of us on it. Not quite all of them though!

Troops. Me, DH and the DDs.

I thought you meant family chats where we all sit around to talk about something.

We call them War Councils.

I don’t have any group chats with family members. I don’t know it was a thing.

So did I. We don’t even have a name for those.

I don’t think I have anything on my phone that would do group chats.
