Answer

You need to have a discussion with your mother to find out what her concern is regarding texting.brbrWhen she identifies what her concern is, if you are able educate her. The more information that she has regarding texting and the benefit of, then she quotmayquot change her mind. brbrIf the concern is the cost, most cellular companies have an unlimited text plan.brbrYour compromise could be to respectfully ask if you could text on the weekend.brbr...and when it is all said and done. If mother says yes...give her a big hug and thank her. If mother says no, still give her a big hug and thank her for listening and RESPECT HER DECISION.
