Getting your keys out of your bag and trying to find them in the dark late at night is no picnic, but you’ll never guess why the person in this story had to deal with it.

See what happened when they talked about it.

AITA for calling my spouse inconsiderate for a 2am phone call on a weeknight?

My spouse and kids went to their friends house for the night. My wife is best friends with the mom and our 2 kids are friends with her kids.

They went Sunday, stayed the night, hung out with them all day/night and came home at 2 AM last night/this morning.

Somehow their exhaustion led to entitlement and I’m really appalled. Who does this?!

I was already asleep since I have work in the morning. She called my phone at 2 AM to open the door for her and the kids. I didn’t wake up. She had keys and was able to get in the house perfectly fine.

She and the kids were really tired (obviously) and just wanted someone to come and unlock the door. I vaguely remember getting woken up by all the lights and noise of them coming in etc., but I think I fell right back to sleep. I was REALLY tired.

Fast forward to this morning and I’m about to go into the bathroom to brush my teeth before work. She was already in there finishing up.

Exchanges like what followed would make me feel uncomfortable disagreeing with his wife.

I said “You called me at 2am? Why?” and she stated that she just wanted me to open the door. I said “that’s pretty inconsiderate since I work in the morning.”

She started raising her voice and saying how it’s “perfectly normal for someone to help and support their wife” etc. Started yelling how inconsiderate I am that I didn’t wake up and open the door.

I admit that maybe I shouldn’t have brought it up first thing in the morning. My wife has ADHD, depression, and anxiety, so that might contribute to her irritation/anger.

I feel as though it’s not an excuse. AITA?

Here is what folks are saying.

I wouldn’t have even done this in my 20s!

Ridiculous if you have kids. I’m nocturnal and liked late nights in my 20s and 30s.

I’m definitely using “Holy cats” from now on. No, holy hamsters!

I felt terrible the rare time I forgot my keys. Apparently shame isn’t a thing.

SO lazy. I always put my keys in an accessible compartment in my purse.

Mom comes home at 2 am with the kids and thinks that entitles her to wake up hubby on a weeknight.
