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

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.

It is time you grew a set of cahones and told her to either grow up or f*#k off. That sort of childish behaviour needs to be stopped quickly.

^ This here is probably the best plan I've seen. Thank you for spreading your genius to all.

If you can't be man enough to stand up to her, how were you man enough to create a child? Just kidding, but seriously man, you have another option if you don't want to block her number. You can always wake your wife and have her answer the phones. She'll shut your mother-in-law down right fast.

I'd tell her to stop or you'll get a restraining order

Good for you for standing up for yourself! I hope your mother-in-law will let you sleep in peace from now on and not take advantage of your work phone again.

Haha, wonderful response. "You know, if you ever want to babysit you're going to have to get used to waking up at all hours too ...."

If you have a particularly wimpy friend, 169, I seem to have caught the nickname 'Wuss-fairy Twat-waffle' from some of mine

Can you change the number for your work phone and then just not tell her it?
