Today, I got to sleep in late for the first time in 3 years, as wife took our two young daughters out of town to visit with her parents. I told my mother that I was really looking forward to being able to sleep in this morning. The phone rang at 7:30. It was my mother asking me how I slept. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally had a day off in two weeks and I was excited about getting to sleep in. At 5 a.m., my mom loudly knocked and came in. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she was checking to see if I was asleep. FML
Today, and for the first time in months, I woke up feeling well rested and ready to face the day. At 7pm. FML
Today, my girlfriend woke me at 5am, just to say how great it was that I could still sleep two more hours before leaving for work. FML
Today, my wife finally let our kids stay the night at my mom's house, meaning we had our first night totally alone together in 6 years. She spent all night texting my mom for updates on the kids or on the phone to her sister, so I watched a film by myself then went to bed bored at 8:15 p.m. FML
Today, my husband was going to let me sleep in for Mother's Day. That would have been great, if my brother didn't call me at 5:30 in the morning to say Happy Mother's Day. Now I'm up like any other day. FML
Today, I had three days off work. My mom woke me up for work on all three of those days, despite my repeatedly asking her not to. When I actually had to go to work this morning, she didn't wake me up. At least I wasn't late. FML
Today, I took my first day off in 3 weeks just so I can sleep in. The office secretary woke me up at 7.12 am with a page wishing me a nice day off. FML
Today, I didn't get to sleep until 5 a.m., as I stayed up to finish off a big project that I have been working on for the past week. I was then woken up at 6 a.m. by my daughter saying she was ready for school. School starts at 9 a.m., and is a 2-minute drive away. I'm now at work, living off an hour of sleep and coffee. FML
Today, after an exhausting weekend of work, I decided to take a nap. I was awoken several hours later by my mother-in-law knocking on my door. Apparently my 11-year-old called up grandma to complain that she was hungry and that mum was sleeping instead of cooking dinner. FML
Today, I had my first day off in weeks. I was excited about getting to sleep in, until my boss called me at 6:30 in the morning to remind me I didn't have to come into work. Thanks. FML

Well, f your life for one phone call. Get over it and go back to sleep. On the nicer side, wtf calls at 7 am thinking that the receiver is awake? Calling her at 5am sounds like a good idea.

That's just terrible. Gee #8, I'm guessing so maybe she DIDN'T disturb him early? She's so mean for doing that.

Let's all remember that a senior citizen's 7:30am is a college student's noon.

She probably grew up in a different time waking up at 5 am probably every day. Might not understand the difference of what our generation considers sleeping in.

Well, I know that if I hadn't slept in in three years NOTHING would wake me up...why pick up the phone when you can just let it go to voicemail? And like everyone else is saying, why not just turn off all ringers before going to sleep? Why not use earplugs? There are SO many things you could've done to ensure a good night's sleep, so you definitely deserve this one. PS - most of my family members who are older than 55 wake up at ungodly hours in the morning and think that everyone else should too...

OP has two kids and a wife who aren't at home. I would keep my phone on loud too, just in case anything happened. You know, sometimes, when you have responsibilities (like children), people do their best to be accessible even at 7:30am.
