maybe if you called her more often, she wouldn't have to know

lol remind her every time she calls... mom! it's 3 am, and then yawn

Refuse to answer. You must. I feel like I am STILL training my inlaws in particular on this notion. Or how about not talking to my husband for TWO HOURS HE HAS BEEN WORKING ALL DAY.

thatowly: perfect

I know how moms think

the bonus is that family does not randomly ring anymore. all calls are scheduled or verified in advance, which suits me fine.
