Turning off mobile phone at night

4 replies

Domestic1980 · 17/10/2022 17:22

Just a random thought, I have 2 adult children who live 2/3 hours from me.
I am so sick of my phone pinging all night ( not always my 2 children), parents, friends, notifications ect ect.
we have a landline so my theory is in an emergency they could ring.
but I want to detach from the whole phone at night thing and turn the mobile phone off
does that make me a bad mum?

I would never turn my phone off in case of an emergency call - no-one ever uses the landline.

I always turn off wifi/data when I go to bed so that I don’t get pinged all night but I can still receive calls and texts. Everyone that knows me wouldn’t call or text at night unless an emergency.

I have do not disturb on but allows favourites through .. which are DCs .. also all what's app chats muted ( individually) apart from
DCs so when I get a ping I know it's a son/daughter or DH

My phone has a night setting so it doesn't ping at all and it won't ring unless it's one of my preprogrammed numbers (my parents, my kids, my brothers and Dp's mobile of course but he's generally next to me!

You can break through the night setting by phone 3 times in succession so in emergency situations I'm contactable
