[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you work, OP?

I'm trying to imagine a scenario where you would have the need for an emergency phone call more than maybe once a month, if even that?

Can you give examples of things you think are important?[/quote]

Practice is cancelled
Your mother went into a fib again, she went to the hospital… I’ll go I know youre busy
Joe has a fever, can you go get him I’m presenting at the conference today
Can you take Rob to surgery they changed the time, I have something that am… I can stay home the next 2 days with him, if not I need to get someone to cover today!
Out of surgery 
The cars is ready, Uber to it I won’t be picking you up

These are texts I got in the past 10 days from my H.

Frankly your whole family seems bizarrely unhealthy. But I assume you and your husband know that and are on phone/text standby constantly for crises and emergencies. [/quote]

Well there are 35 of us so…

Life happens.

Your job and you are not as important as you think you are.[/quote]

OP - I notice a theme between:

“Your job and you are not as important as you think you are.”

and, from your original message

“How can I handle this and let him know my calls are important.”

It seems like the issue is really that you are struggling to feel like your role in the family is important and valuable. And perhaps that there is some resentment for others prioritizing their work responsibilities and not acknowledging that your role is important.

With the number of surgeries, heart issues, etc going on in your family right now - I suspect you are carrying a heavy burden emotionally.

Can you potentially schedule time for your husband to take a break and leave the SCIF to check messages, call you to check in, etc. It seems like there is maybe a lot going on in your family right now and the real issue is with that health burden, you need more support.  And then when you are back to the normal life of just worrying about practices and more run of the mill stuff, you won’t need a check in and can catch him up in the evenings.[/quote]

Nope.

It’s really not that hard to send a text in the am and expect a response by noon or send one in the pm and expect one by 4.

You all sound like teens who think moving laundry to the dryer is a chore. It’s takes &lt; 1 min.

If you can’t fit answering a text into your day 2x a day you need some time management classes.  [/quote]
