Don't just show up anyway?

My dad has just done this for the second time this week, texts are you in, then a couple of hours later comes whether I have replied or not! (Can't reply at the moment due to lack of credit)

Would it kill him to PHONE MY HOUSEPHONE. He never does!

Grr

Haha my mil does this too and then gets stroppy when we are not in. She had an emergency key and let herself in to our house once when we didn't reply..... We had a 3 day old DS hence us not replying straight away and also note the word HAD in the previous sentence.

would it kill you to ring him from your housephone to reply?? lol!

If he wants to come round he can bloody ring me, thank you very much, it costs a bloody fortune ringing mobiles from my landline.

I think its reasonable for him to do this. If he hasn't had a reply then he might think you don't have credit/no signal/havent checked your phone and is just calling in on the off chance

If you replied saying you weren't in/it wasn't convenient THEN it would be unreasonable of him

True I suppose, but its the bloody assumption that I am that pisses me off and I am not quite sure why!

I have a friend that does this. really pisses me off, especially if I reply "yes home but DD2 poorly and got loads of work to do"

then they reply "cool, stick the kettle on, be round in 10. im SO BORED"

FUCKING WOOOOO for you

bejeezus · 24/05/2012 18:25

dany I think you feel sad that you are always in when he calls round?

Are you happy with your days?

How would you feel if you were out with a friend and you got a text saying 'just called round at yours, bit you're not there...blah blah blah'?

He is not unreasonable to turn up on the off chance but if he then went on to have a rant because you weren't in he would be
