Someone has just called my house phone. I suspect who it may have been and I am really pissed off. I had a message on my mobile asking me to call them which I hadn't responded to as was sleeping and then 50 minutes later the call.

One - I was asleep
Two - I have a young child it could have disturbed
Three - I suffer with anxiety and this has triggered this tonight so I'm struggling to get back to sleep ð???

If it is who I suspect would it be unreasonable for me to go through them next time I speak to them and then allow my daughter to ring at 6am singing screeching let it go down the phone after the next night out they have.

It totally depends why they wanted to speak to you. If it was urgent news like your nan is in hospital yabu?

They have just replied to my message. It was fucking them! Asshole.

Seeing as you are awake now, why don't you just ring them back. Might be something important.

It was a drunk phone call from
a friend in a different country who's children are away with his wife currently

YANBU, although them having woken you up might have made it worse than if they'd have rung you earlier on.

It sounds as though quite a lot of it has to do with who/what this person is to you, are you talking about an ex DP/long term friend/unreasonable family member?

Then she deserves the 6 in the morning phone call from your daughter Wink

It would have been fine if they had rang earlier but a 12.40am phone call puts the fear of god in me. Any middle of the night call would. Nobody ever phones at that time unless it's bad news. Or apparently you're drunk and don't understand that no text response will probably mean you're sleeping.

I get annoyed at a call after 930!

AlbaGuBrath · 25/10/2014 08:19

I have calmed down this morning. Poor DD ended up sick overnight so it turned into a longish night anyway.

Still annoyed he thinks it's an appropriate time to call the house phone, I wouldn't care if he'd tried my mobile as its on silent once I go to bed. Deep breaths before I get all annoyed again!

So just tell him not to do this again, rather than working yourself up and planning to play pa games with him. Or block his number.

FFS it was a joke about the 6am phone call, lighten up.

I have obviously told him not to phone at that time again already.

would have made me rage tbh. we just switch the ringer off on our landline once the kids are all in

AlbaGuBrath · 25/10/2014 12:17

To be honest it's never something I've thought of because nobody ever rings the house, let alone at that time of night.
