Extended family member who isn't very tech savvy has just phoned me after midnight to ask me to send her - her mobile number - because she 'needs' it.

"Hiya sorry to call you so late I know you're sleeping but I really need my mobile number, can you text it to me by the morning"

I just hung up.

I already sent it to her last week at her request now she's lost it again and thinks midnight is an appropriate time to fuck about and ring my phone for trivial things such as this.

I co-sleep with my youngest (1 year) and for that reason have all notifications on silent except for calls because you know, emergencies.

I'm now awake and pissed off.

If you were me would you address this firmly tomorrow or just let it go? She has form for CFery..

Cosleep with a 1 yr old? Is this as new trend?

Eh?! You've never heard of co-sleeping?

@Jeeperscreepers69

What's the difference between 'sleep with' and 'cosleep with'? Is it the same thing?

(Genuine question)

After a bit of googling I have found the place in Settings which purports to hold my phone number. It is wrong. Fortunately I know my number by heart because it is the same one I have had for many years ever since I first got a mobile. But if by chance I forgot the "on phone" infor. wouldn't be much use. I will do as a pp said and enter myself in contacts just in case

Calling someone at that time is never acceptable, unless it’s an emergency, a bootie call, a drug dealer, your other half, or you and the recipient are both drunk 😂

Need an update to this - did the CF respond?

Yeah.....squirms; it's the kind of thing I've done in my stupider moments. I wouldn't blame somebody for being totally pissed off with me for similar capers. I think the idea to wait until about four or five o'clock - you choose - to call her back (preferably with an incorrect number) is genius.
