Really, MIL?

We are not close to my MIL at all -- she and DH don't have a great relationship.  Which is fine because she is a difficult person.

She called here at 11:15 last night. No apparent reason.  Just wanted to chat.  Are you kidding me?  I'm sorry, I'm of the "if the phone rings after 10 PM somebody better be bleeding or dead" camp.  She woke me up, irritated DH, and I woke up this morning wanting to punch her.

I mean, if she wanted to chat that bad, maybe call his cell phone?  But the land line?  really?

Re: Really, MIL?

  • My MIL texted me last nite at 10:45 and I was already asleep so I also wanted to do some face punching. Do people not realize pregnant women need their rest? On another note...you still have a land line? I thought those were pretty extinct these days

  • I agree.  I'm in that same party that if someone is calling at that hour it better be an emergency. 
  • I'm annoyed that all of you are asleep by that time!!  I'm lucky to crash out before 1am. Stick out tongue

  • We have an 8:30pm rule. Our phones go to vibrate so they don't wake the children. If we receive a call after 8:30, the greeting we use is "what's wrong,  who's hurt/ill?" If the person replies with "nothing/no-one" we offer to call back in the mornin

  • And this is why the landline in our room has the ringer off and my phone lives downstairs when I'm sleeping. Only one have I ever gotten an emergency call.

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

  • Late doesn't bother me as much as early. There's no reason to talk to a MIL at 8 or 9 am on our end.

    Especially after a new baby. Ex MIL called at 830 900 am the day after my dd and ex dh got home from an evening/night hospital discharge. We
