My friend is annoyed because I don’t often answer the phone

[Dinkywinky245]

I have a close friend and we used to chat quite frequently on the phone. Since having my second baby, I simply don’t have the time. A short conversation is fine, but conversations often last 40mins - and I feel they’d go on longer if I didn’t cut them short. I find it much easier to text. I’m not particularly a phone call type of person anyway - but am I being unkind to ignore phone calls?

Your friend is clueless. Why can’t she call you at lunch?

Love your post loopery x

Oh Christ nooooo....the only person who ever calls in the evening is my dad and I never pick up to him. All my friends know the score. Once you’ve got dinner/bath/bed done, the last thing you want to do is talk on the phone. She’s just going to have to get used to it. And if she can’t then she isn’t a good friend I’m afraid. Send a message explaining the situation and leave it at that. Weekend mornings always work well for me for chats with mates.

Ugh, reading your post made me feel suffocated...of course it's ok not to want to speak to her. Do what you need to do!
