"Where were you when I called?"
That would get a brisk "none of your fucking business!" from me. I do not like to be monitored.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

He's so goddamn needy. I cannot abide it. I've actually started answering "where were you when I called?" with "Sorry I missed you; what's up?" Because NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS DAD.

Ann, that's a ferret.
And I forgot my therapist's most mind-blowing piece of advice, which was: I don't have to answer the phone. I can just let it go to voicemail and return the call(s) when I'm ready.
You and I need to form a support group. Hubs calls me at work repeatedly (at least 5 times today, and that's just on my cell phone), usually over things that can wait until I get home or longer.
I offer my favorite lines from the movie version of Barefoot in the Park. It's Paul's (Robert Redford) first day back at work after his honeymoon with Corie (Jane Fonda), and when he gets home it's
Corie: Did you miss me?
Paul: How could I? You called me seven times.

I love that movie. And yeah, that line is all too relatable.

Tep, we should hook your dad up with my emotionally needy, draining MiL.

"Sorry I missed you, what's up" is a perfect response!!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
We were watching some show once and a character said to their spouse something about how much the inlaws talk about their bathroom habits. TCG looked at me and said, "it's your family".
