Parexting

Yes, you read the title correctly....Parexting. I watched The View on Friday when they had a speical "how to handle your teens" episode. One of the things they discussed was texting (or IMing) on cell phones, computers, Sidekicks, etc. They introduced the term "Sexting" which is Texting + Sex = Sexting. So I am introducing my own term, Parexting: Parenting + Texting. I figured if they can have their own teen friendly lingo, why shouldn't parents be able to text their kids to let them know what they're thinking?

So....here is a list I have started.....I'm sure I'll be adding more as the years go by. Feel free to add your own in the Comments:
