I just leave my cellphone places on purpose. Later I call them back with an excuse like "Sorry, I left my phone in the kitchen and was at my desk." Anyone that calls me regularly knows to expect this. I do keep my phone on and near me during standard business hours, but even then I might not answer a family call and give a work excuse.
- doubled112 3y agoI'm not taking the work phone anywhere I don't have to, that's for sure. I get to them when/if I feel it's appropriate. I've had zero problems there so far. I don't always have MY phone on me either, and even if I do I don't always answer. It is this phone where I have the biggest problem with people and boundaries. Sometimes I feel like I'm surrounded by needy children but they're in their 40s, 50s, and 70s. A phone call, a voice mail, a call back, another voice mail to remind me about the first call, maybe a call that night too. Nobody even died. It's not always the same person either. So the next call I do answer will be mostly a shaming about how I don't answer the phone. You're right and your behavior right now is why. Have a nice day mom. Does it sound stressful? I don't care probably even as much as I should, but one day it will be something important but the boy cried wolf too many times and got eaten. Just remember. If you have them, teach your kids that while they may be the main character in their story, they are not the main character in the story, and the difference between the two.
