Leave me alone!

By Can I have some sleep? - 14/11/2024 11:00 - United Kingdom - London

Today, I texted my mom and had to explain to her that calling me repeatedly at 2 a.m. because you're bored and want to talk is not really a good idea. Seriously, nothing happened, she just wanted to chat because she had nothing else to do. Her response to my message? She started calling me again. FML

I get it, but my Mom died in August, and I wish beyond anything I could get a 2am phone call from her again. 😭

It sounds like you're in a tricky situation! It's tough when loved ones don't understand the boundaries around late-night calls. Perhaps you could have a gentle conversation with her during the day to explain your need for sleep and suggest other times to chat. Setting clear boundaries might help prevent those late-night calls in the future. Maybe suggest a regular time for conversations so she knows when to reach out!

This is why I have ringtones for everyone in my contact list. If I don’t want to talk to someone, I hear the tone, I mute the sound and ignore the phone. When I go to bed, I leave the phone in my living room. It’s not hard to ignore people
