Old coworkers have your personal cell? Why?

I would block these people. And don’t give out your personal cell if you are this offended by contact.

NP and I agree. It’s one thing to hear from my own mother, my MIL, and my sister. Maybe an aunt or two. But I really don’t need to hear from friends and *old coworkers.* Like, just focus on your own mom and people close to you! I don’t need junk texts from every corner of my extended acquaintence.

My do not disturb turns off around 8. Doesn’t mean I want to get an early text

Seems like a least a few others feel this way...

Sounds like you have an issue with your phone. Maybe put it away on your amazing Sunday morning.

Do they live in a different time zone??

No one sends me these dumb texts and I don’t send them to anyone else. I have no Mother’s Day plans and it’s glorious. I expect nothing, it’s just another Sunday. You all should try it!

I dont like texts after 9pm because I go to bed early. I’d never be this rude about it though. I just turn my phone on silent and go to sleep. Get a grip OP.

This. So far I’ve gotten messages from coworkers and my kid’s babysitter. With the little bouquet emojis. They were on silence so they didn’t wake me up but it’s a little silly.

No time for texts. Plenty of time to whine on DCUM.. Classic.

Haha, I have my phone on do not disturb, but DS is at a sleepover so he is an allowed call, for emergencies. Kid texted me early and woke me up. Sigh.
