Does anyone use an app or something similar for parents to contact you? Usually I use my cell and I have been doing this 13 years and first time I’m having parents that don’t seem to understand that I am not available 24/7. I got a phone call one night 2 hours after closing that I didn’t answer because I was at my own kids school
activity, followed by 2 texts asking if I new what brand of paint was on Dcb shirt… then last night a text at almost 10pm asking what dcb ate (which was on the daily sheet, but I wrote baby food instead of the actual food… which THEY sent in, but couldn’t remember what it was). The 10pm text woke up me and I was furious because I have been having trouble sleeping so once I’m up I’m up… I can’t do ‘do no disturb’. My parents have health issues and over the summer I got a call at 1am from an unknown number and it was my dad who had been admitted after a fall that broke his cell phone and couldn’t remember anyones phone number but mine. My brother also has mental health issues and sometimes texts late if he’s having an episode (long story).
I know I can tell the parents no texts after hours, but I do want to text if their child develops symptoms or has a communicable disease, and honestly they’re lovely people but that new generation where they seen to lack common sense!
besides getting a new phone that I can shut off are there any other things I can do?
