I have a family member who calls and if I don't answer (because I genuinely can't, driving or at work etc) they will then keep calling every half hour or so even if I send a quick text saying 'sorry, busy right now, talk later'. The thing is, the more times they call the less I want to make time to talk to them (never a quick call).
I've raised the issue before that it makes me anxious if they keep calling as I think there's a life threatening problem, and so can they message to let me know what's going on, but there's never a problem just them being insistent. I said again that it bothers me and I got an earful that I shouldn't tell them what to do. We speak every couple of days FFIW so hardly strangers.
AIBU? Why can't they wait? Why does it wind me up so much? What can I do????
