Sorry if this is a bit of a rant but I’m getting very frustrated with my DM. She will call me on my mobile, and if I don’t answer she will call multiple times over the next couple of minutes, and will then do the same with my DH to try and reach me through him. I can’t always talk as I have 2 young children, a job etc, and sometimes it’s just not convenient or I’m tired and about to go to bed. I have tried to explain that it’s fine to call repeatedly if it’s an emergency but otherwise can she just try once and if there’s no answer leave a message or send a text and I’ll come back to her when I can. She gets ratty if I raise the issue, then there’s a slight improvement before she returns to her old ways. I even said to her that it worries me when I see multiple missed calls as I think there’s been an accident or something else awful has happened, but she still doesn’t get it as she just leaves a message or sends a text saying it’s not an emergency so not to worry but I need to call her urgently and she will keep trying until I answer. The problem is my DM has no understanding of what urgent is as her idea of urgent is something as mundane as I saw something in a charity shop you might like and I need to know now if you want it (usually tat I don’t want)! I know she means well, and in the grand scheme of life it’s not that big a deal, but it’s driving me nuts. She did it this evening, and it’s just stressed me out and wound me up as I was tired and just wanted to chill out and have an early night. If I try and push the matter it will just end in a big argument, and ultimately she’ll just slip back to her old ways so I feel very frustrated. Am I alone, or does anyone else have this problem?
