Any phone will allow you to still receive notifications for select contacts or numbers that call repeatedly in a given time frame with DND on so she’s chosen to not be directly contactable by her partner or be his emergency contact.

I had to scroll too far for this. If your child is a school and there’s an emergency, or your husband gets into an accident, or a million other very important things. You’ll just get back to them whenever? This seems borderline neglectful.
