Mum frustrated over 'rude' family member who is 'always on the phone'

A mum has shared her frustration with a family member who is always on the phone when visiting her. The woman says it’s ‘so rude’ and took to Mumsnet to share her anger ahead of the family members' next visit with the family.

Writing on the forum, she put:”I have a family member who doesn't work, has no commitments to her time, has no husband/partner or children, who lives alone and has all the time in the world to speak to whoever she likes to. But yet whenever she comes to visit us for dinner or a few hours, which is already really difficult to plan because of our commitments.

"She's always got someone ringing her and she doesn't think twice about saying ‘oh can I call you back’ nope she answers the phones and will be on it for ages and then will have the audacity to moan she can't hear the person because of the background noise that's going on in my busy home, children husband and dogs.
