Honestly? It ticks me off way more when phone calls/texts come from ad companies or other places that have no right at all, to my phone number.
I'm retired now but if calls came in that weren't within an acceptable time frame, I would wait until I could or wanted to answer. The dcfs with whom I had a closer relationship, I always kept in contact with. But with me, I had no kids or family at home(for many years) that also needed my attention so that definitely played a part.
OP is from 8 years ago.
