Perhaps chips can be implanted in parent’s skulls. Sort of like Lo-Jack for old people.

SybilLaw-There has been so many occasions (good ones, too!) that my Mom will say “Oh everyone asked where you were last weekend” Where? At the ______. (You can fill that in with birthday, Christening, anniversary party.) Why didn’t I hear? Because Mom ‘forgot’ to pass on the invitation! I know that technology has made things different from years ago, but we have it and it should be USED!

OMG I hear ya! When I really need to reach my Mom on her cellphone it is never on. I can’t seem to explain how she should text or listen to her voicemail, she refuses to even try on the basis of “I am too old for that shit”…

And then when she’s got it on and it’s ringing, she always thinks initially it’s someone else’s phone that is ringing until someone points out it is actually hers (which usually makes her too late and the call has stopped by the time she finds it in her purse and picks up)

Parents can be ultra irritating when it comes to technology, for sure. My own dad has all these surgeries coming up (and has had one, already), and while they totally get and use the cell phone… Well, my mom is the idiot who says things to me like, “Oh, you know when so – and – so died”, and I have no clue what she’s talking about. She does that crap ALL THE TIME. She thinks I already know this vital info, but the fact is, I don’t, because she is just now telling me! It irritates me to no end!
I gotta say, though – I mean, I know you were ultra frustrated, and I completely get it, but I agree with Tug a bit – we went eons without cell phones, and they’d have checked their phone eventually, right?
*Ducking*

Phinz-My parent’s phone has call waiting, texting, voice mail and speed dial–not much more than that.But they still only know how to call and to answer. Oh well..And I’m just getting back to reading and commenting myself so I know what that’s like.

At least your parents will HAVE a cell phone. Mine don’t want them. They both now have one in each of their cars, but only because it came with it. *sigh*

Glad Mom-mom’s doing well.

Thanks for the comment on my blog as well! I’m done interning and have more time now to read & comment!
