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

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

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 would get annoying if it was all the time though like OP. Sorry for your loss.
