I am by no means a veteran poster either.
A big parallel here is to treat them like a cashier, pleasant.
I dont think I would be inclined to keep talking to a cashier that was speaking to me that way, I didnt sense any friendliness at all honestly but I am also on the sensitive side.
My comments also took into consideration some of the things you said Natash that werent said directly to her, for instance when she should and should not be sending texts im very sensitive to that kind of oversight.
Unless she has a history of neglecting her kids, its a little excessive in my opinion and makes it sound like you are seeing yourself in a one up position.
