Today, my mother-in-law called me every 2 hours, starting at 8pm and stopping at 10am the following morning. She says that since my wife and I are expecting our first child, I should "get used to waking up at all hours." She calls my work phone, which I'm not allowed to switch off. FML
dope_mcfly tells us more.
Hey, OP here. I would have mentioned in the FML that my work phone is one of those "dumb phones" and does not have any option to block numbers. After she did that for two nights in a row, I wound up setting one of the fax machine at my office to auto-dial her mobile and house phones every 15 minutes. Now, the only thing that wakes me up is the occasional user who forgot their login info, and my wife's odd food cravings.

i highly doubt you can talk to someone that crazy and irrational. Id block her and make your wife do the talking its her psycho mother.

Set you phone to do not disturb and put the important numbers from work only to ring through

Your mom is out of line. You'll get used to that on your own. She's trying to help but that's pretty rash.

That comment would still be lame even if it was posted on the correct FML.
