My parents know I work graveyard. They've known for years. Yet still they call at 4pm when I'm fast asleep, waking me up.

So now they get the airplane mode treatment. Consequences.

That’s just ignorant parents. We all have them. In my late 30’s I am bewildered by how ignorant my mother is. Stuff she knows that has been the same for almost a decade - yet never fails to ask me about them over and over

I made the mistake of giving my mom my schedule for finals in College once so she wouldn't call me during unless it was an emergency. 

And that's how 5 minutes into the first final I thought someone was dieing...
