Opinion: Is it rude to answer a text message at 5:10am?

Yes, plain and simple. It is also rude IMO to text too late, same as phone calls, not early or too late.

The exception to this is if it is a close friend/family member and you know they are up early/up late.

Opinion: Is it rude to answer a text message at 5:10am?

The other day my dad called me at 9:40pm. Probably not a big deal to most, but I go to bed by 9 EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. He knows this. We have had several conversations about this and he has been told to only call me before 7 pm unless it is an emergency (we do bath time and bed time between 7 and 8 and watch a TV show to unwind). It was not an emergency. He called just to talk. I have my phone on do not disturb, but he is one of my favorites so it rings/vibrates for him. I am the lightest sleeper ever so it woke me up and then I was up for over an hour cause I also struggle to fall asleep. Fun times.

No but then again, I look at texts like an email. We don't think twice about emailing someone. To me, texts are more direct emails. Answer when you can.

And my phone is always on silent, so I'm not bothered.

If my phone is on silent I couldn’t care less about when someone texts me.
But sometimes it’s not and MIL thinks
nothing of texting us at 6 am... nothing urgent just “good morning” or whatever...that is rude.

I would not text at that hour. (Although I may have sent a text to someone on the west coast at 6am their time)

On the flip side of telling people they should mute their phones during the night, an argument can be made for scheduling a text. If I have the urge to send it at 5 am because I will be busy later or afraid I will forget, I schedule a time to send it.

Re: Opinion: Is it rude to answer a text message at 5:10am?

For those of you that ALWAYS keep your phone on silent- don't you miss calls?

That would drive me nuts. I want to know if someone is trying to reach me. Whether or not I answer right then and there will depend on who it is and what I am doing at the moment, but I want to at least know.

Same for texts. If someone is asking me something and I am able to respond right away, I like to do so.
Why make them wait 5 hours for a quick answer?
That would drive me nuts.

Also, I worry that DD's school might be calling- what if there is an emergency? What if there is an emergency with my family etc?
I can't imagine keeping my phone on silent at all times? Isn't that the point of having a phone?

Most of the time my phone is silent (no sound for email/text). I have it set that only phone calls come through. I have a Motorola. Don't know if every phone has that option.
My phone is next to me at work so I see if I get a text.

I would think nothing of getting a text at 5am, because I'm smart enough to put my phone on silent at night. I have a home phone, so if it's an emergency, my family knows my phone number.

We don't have a home phone, so we can't be smart enough to leave our phones on silent

My SO's son also is emotionally disturbed and lives with his mother, so we do leave our phones on because he has had issues at night where we need to hear our phones.

So I guess it is a splitChat Icon

I also think it is rude because it WASN'T an emergency.

My phone is on silent all day during my commute and during work. But it is within my eye sight

I also make my son's school call my job first, my receptionist will find me

But yeah, I only have it on silent for those things, I actually do agree with you regarding normal times

Re: Opinion: Is it rude to answer a text message at 5:10am?

This is ridiculous how long this thread got.

Anyway, I already answered I don't think it's rude bc I do keep my phone on silent. I'm always by it, but if I get a text when I'm sleeping it doesn't wake me.
I have a house phone most people know so if it's an emergency they call that and it wakes me. Also, for text I don't wake up for a quick buzz, but if the phone keeps going off from phone calls since it's next to me that would probably wake me too.

Since the OP is sleeping and doesn't have phone on vibrant just let the woman know she's waking you and I'm sure that would solve the 5AM texts. Again, I sometimes text early since I'm a morning person. If someone said please wait till after 9AM I'd be like.. oh, sorry. Will do

But you can silence a text thread. If you know that she does this often then why not just put it so you don't get notifications for that one text chain.

I keep my phone to automatically go into "Do Not Disturb" mode overnight.

It's set so that if anyone on my "favorites" list calls it will ring, even if it's on DND. (This happened in an emergency situation not too long ago.)

Also, if someone calls you twice within 3 minutes or something it rings automatically.
