Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

This Pennsylvania family has a family group chat, like most of us. Of course, there are always going to be some relatives that can handle the regular updates more than others.

The dad from this particular story is one of them. We cannot stop laughing at the reasoning that he offered up for leaving the family group chat and the screenshots did not take long to go viral.

His daughter, 23-year-old Allison D’Orazio, is the one who shared the screenshots on Twitter and the post has been quite popular.

“I can’t keep up with the pressure of always having to lol or like or heart everyone’s random thoughts, pics and amusements,” Dr. Thomas D’Orazio said in the screenshots. That’s not all that he had to say on the matter, either. Once you see the rest of his exit message, you are going to be cracking up just like we were. Dad has had enough and the group chat is not giving what it is supposed to give.

“For all future texts: I love them, laugh at them, or like them, unless it’s bad, then I dislike them. In perpetuity,” he went on to say. “I can’t live with this pressure. I’m out,” he concluded. That’s quite the mic drop, isn’t it?

The post been retweeted and liked tens of thousands of times and viewed over 14 million times. Three days after the initial tweet, she came back to let her followers know that her father “said he ironically has a million texts to reply to now.” That’s how you know this little gambit ended up backfiring on him but we are sure he is being a good sport about it.

Allison went on to say that she, her mother Amy, and her 19-year-old sister Alexa were sending photos and article links in the thread when her father made his announcement. Not to worry, readers. It was all in good fun. Allison ended up making her account private to avoid further attention.

In an interview with Good Morning America, she said: “He just loves to engage and interact so he felt pressured to like every single thing or react to every single thing that we sent, and at the end of the day, that’s when he sent that message.”
