[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 653404, member: 1991"] Looking at this hypothetically, if Mr X gets upset at the well check then he has a problem and knows that somewhere along the line, he has not been doing the right thing. Look at it this way - let's consider there was no party, no knowledge or otherwise of Mr X likely to be home or not likely to be home. Just a good friend ringing to say hi, and hearing giggling teens on the phone. Hell yes, welfare check. And if it turns out that the giggling teens are innocent young relatives, or students, or whatever - well, a welfare check is still not unreasonable. So ickle diddums kiddies got scared by the big nasty powicemen? Tough. They should learn to answer the phone with more maturity. And Mr X? If kids are left to answer his phone in an irresponsible manner, he has to accept that the welfare check has been called just in case he really needed it, and not get so flamin' precious about it. Good grief, what a pain in the proverbial! I'd be telling him what he could do with his anger and self-righteous indignation because it would be very misplaced. If the positions were reversed and it was Mr X trying to get onto me, and hearing giggling irresponsible kids on the phone when there was no reason for them to be there - I'd be cranky if he DIDN'T call for a welfare check.
