How early is too early to call?

[vanillacourage]

My mother sleeps until 10 or 11 on the weekends and it drives me bonkers because when we have plans to see her that day, half out day goes by before I can talk to her to clarify details or figure out what errands I have to run to prep. Our weekend days start at 7ish.

Yes, there is more than a twinge of jealousy afoot as well.

Call now. It's almost 11am.

In general, I say any time before 9 is too early to call.

Lol I would have called by now. My mom is the same though.

Wouldn't it be easier to go through the details the day before? Then everything will be set.

Yes, it would. My mom prefers to "set a tentative plan to meet at X, but let's touch base that morning." I think I need to tell her that just doesn't work for me now that I have two small complications...I mean children.

Secure the plans the evening before your trip. Wah. Lah.

Sounds like she can have a choice: make plans ahead of time or receive a phone call "early" in the morning to solidify plans. I don't mind making decisions on the fly for our family, but when it involves other people, I like things set the night before. I can work errands, meals, and naps around our plans that way.

Too early to call is a time when you know the person will be sleeping.

She needs to set plans with you the day before. I think 11am is just silly anyway.

Haters gonna hate. Weekends are for sleeping in. That being said, she should confirm details Saturday night before bed.
