QuoteThey were breaking my trust bc i trusted that they wouldn’t read all my conversations and it feels like a breach of some unspoken boundary to read my texts too my friends.
I'm going to make sure I'm clear with this: I don't like parents reading kids texts, I do think privacy is important. Sometimes it's important that they do read the texts, however. In addition, I don't think that your solution, while functional, is the only one. I think there's other solutions that could be explored, such as calling, or talking in person. I'm not putting everything on you here, but I do understand where your parents are coming from.
QuoteCalling: again, schedule differences
Texting on a parent's phone: yeah no that's not happening
No way to make time for it?
why not?

No, we always end up texting a few sentences back and forth over a couple hours. Rarely on weekends there's time to call, but that's rare
My parents would definitely read texts I sent from their phone, meaning I wouldn't be able to talk to my friends about any of the stuff I actually need to talk to them about

They can’t always call if they’re like cleaning or something and I do call them quite a bit it’s just much less effective than texting. Also we try to talk in person as much as we can but due to the fact that we all have interests and hobby’s we can’t do that much more than once or twice a week so that’s not super efficient.
