To be annoyed at being woken at 630am by dps ex ringing (non urgent)

[Mrskeats]

I'm tired and grumpy so may be being unreasonable.
We were both jerked awake at 630am this morning by dps ex ringing to discuss an non urgent problem with their daughter.
We both thought there was something really wrong and then couldn't get back to sleep. She has form for this having once rung at 530am
Dp has big work day and client dinner so now worried he's driving when tired and weather is shocking
Aibu?

Sorry for not coming back didn't finish work till 815 (which is why 630am calls are a nightmare)
Dp still at client dinner
He has a Samsung so will ask him to look at features
It was just about an issue that his daughter has had with a girl at school and whether to speak to form tutor. Sure 8am would have done.
He has told her to do that before so possibly she is doing it on purpose
Obvs if it's an emergency anytime is fine

Oh he gets up at 745 normally
Kids are teens so always asleep

YANBU. Are dp and his ex in contact because they have dc?

iPhone automatically goes into night mode (once you've set the times). Mine becomes silent at 9.30pm and back normal at 8am.

Yanbu - it's nonsense to call anyone at that time in the morning unless it was an absolute emergency. You shouldn't have to switch your phone off and if you did what happens if there is a real emergency and no one can get you because your phone is off? It's common sense the ex seems to be lacking in.

Thanks are phones are on silent tonight
I have kids and an ex so I realise sometimes things happen but still
Dp has spoken to her and apparently she sees no issue at all with ringing that early

YANBU. DH has a relative who is up at some ridiculous hour every morning and forgets the time difference between where he is and the UK. Texts at 5:30am asking how much a bike for a teenage boy would cost here (we have a 5 year old DD ) or suchlike are common. DH can't turn his phone off overnight and often doesn't go to bed until 2-3am so this is not welcomed! He has finally got around to blocking the number overnight.

Next time she rings early end the phone call with. "thanks for ringing early it gets us both up and we have time for a morning bonk, been great for my stress levels, you're a star' she's doing it to subtly annoy you don't let it or she wins.

6.30 is unreasonably early, and would be even if most households were up and about at that time. Which they're not.

I reply to texts at 6am if they require a reply and they have come in overnight because I then get up, cycle to work, work all day and do not have any other chance to have my phone on me. Sometimes that's just how it is.

I think of texts like emails - send whenever, don't expect an instant reply.

I would have to kill her. 6.30am is way too early for anyone to call. Luckily I leave mine on silent overnight as I've had people try to call me at that time for work (I'm an artist, so not urgent). It actually makes me hate them a little bit

I have spoken to my DP about his ex's incessant pointless calls. She is very over familiar and soooo loud that I can hear everything she says when I'm next to him - "Ok babe, love you, bye!" FFS

He had a word and asked her to text rather than call when possible, as he is generally with me and I don't need to listen to her being all pally with him as it makes it seem that their relationship is closer than it is.

She was apparently very apologetic and her calls have definitely slowed down but he also misses most of my calls and texts now as he keeps his phone on silent more and has turned off the lock-screen notifications that would flash up with her fucking name on several times a day to let him know he has a message.

Swings and roundabouts.

YANBU. It doesn't matter when the majority of people get up (and I don't believe the majority are up t 6:30am). I get up at 6am and I sure as hell wouldn't call anyone at that time, or expect to receive a non-urgent call.
