The phone rang last night at 10.30, scaring the life out of me and DH (who assumed it must be some sort of emergency as it was so late), and waking up one of the DC.
It turned out to be my mum, who had some news to share. The news was something she’d known since mid-afternoon (so not something she was desperate to tell me) and could have easily waited until the next day or the day after (it wasn’t vital that I knew it that day).
She was narked when I pointed out it was too late for just a general call and was perhaps not suitably appreciative about her ringing to tell me her news, and pointed out I could have just let it go to the answerphone if it was too late for us (we didn’t because we’d assumed it was important).
AIBU to think that you don’t ring at this time unless it is urgent?
AIBU?
10.30pm is too late for a non-urgent phone call
