I got irritated last night-my DH and I were trying to spending some much needed time alone together and his cell phone rings-he doesn't answer-then my cell phone rings-I don't answer it -then the house phone rings-whoever it was hung up and didn't leave a message. About five minutes go by and his cell phone rings again! He went to check the phone and it was SD15! He thought there was an emergency-she never left any messages-so he called her back. She wanted to ask if she could spend the night at a friends house on Saturday! He told her to leave a message if she needs something from now on-but that is all he said, he didn't seem to be bothered by it. They do they that all the time-when they aren't at our house-it's about control-and I told him I was just really irritated by it. I mean this happens whenever he doesn't answer his cell phone right away-if it's an emergency fine-but it never is. It doesn't matter where we are what time it is or anything- I am overreacting? I mean they will just keep calling and calling but won't leave a message.

it is annoying. at least it seems that your H is siding with you.
my SD will say anything's an "emergency" even when it isn't, because she thinks her dad should be at her service immediately every time she calls. and he never tells her to stop it. she even did it while he was in the hospital.
Next time you're trying to have alone time, secretly unplug the house phone and turn your own cell off. if you can, do it to his also-

When the EW or her two kids can't get an answer they call all night literally. Back to back to back. They never leave a message. Its to where he won't answer it he is like if its important they will leave a message. The oldest SK rarely calls and if she needs anything she is the only one of his kids that have my # bc her mother is respectable.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these
