I need some advice about being a mommy and a friend ...?

I have a 7 week old little girl. I currently have to leave the phone turned on at night because her dad calls to check on her ... she has had RSV and has been sick, and he works third shift and sleeps most of the day. She stays up all night anyway and he usually calls at least once during the night to see how she's doing. I don't have caller ID on my telephone.

The problem is that I have a friend who is still a party girl. And she calls me drunk sometimes at midnight or later. While she is sober, I've mentioned to her that she doesn't need to call that late unless there's an emergency. She always apologizes, but it always happens again. I don't want to lose a good friend because of this one issue, but I can't be a mommy and be there to listen to her drunk ramblings either. Please help!

Answer:
That is a hard one if you can not get caller ID in your area or call ignore. Call ignore is a code you put in your phone so a number can not call until you use an other code to turn it back on. (Some states do not have this.) If you can get caller ID I would suggest it because you can also see Telemarketers during the day and save yourself some grief.

You said she said she was sorry, And i bet she is. But the next time she does call drunk hang up and call her back in a few hours when she is sober and be very strict with her and tell her enough is enough and if she can not control herself from calling at night you will have to block her.This may get deep enough into her head when drunk she will not call. Fear can intensify when drunk and she will not want to lose a good friend.

And you are a good friend. But you are a mom to. Good luck hun hope all gets better soon.
Block her number.
see if you can get something worked out to where she only calls you during the day. if not, my suggestion would be to block her number. and YOU call her when it's necessary for YOU, not her. maybe it will help and than later on, you can unblock her number
