Who calls someones house at 9:40PM when they have small children

If its not an emergency (and it couldnt have been cause she didnt leave a message) why would someone call when they know darn well my children are asleep??? UGH - Some people!

ETA: This is 2nd time in a week... when I didn't answer the phone that time either

I get that all of the time but it's ok for us - because the kids are sleeping & it's the perfect time to talk.

Are you a SAHM by any chance?

People call my house until 11pm, but it is only becaue I give them the OK. I would call up until 9pm if I wasn't sure.

I don't have kids so I might eat my words some day,but I don't think 9:40 is too late.

It could have been the wrong Number too and maybe they realized they dialed the wrong number and hung up!Or they are just rude people.

My friends with kids either call me at that hour or tell me it's ok to call then...the kids are asleep and they can actually talk. Before that is the dinner/bath/bedtime routine and not a convenient time for them to chit chat.

9:40 is super early imo, so whether or not someone had kids (i wouldnt think that would be a factor) i would call.

my friends i call until any hour, but to anyone else the cut-off is 10pm.

its 10:15pm and youre on the computer talking to us right now. if its the sound of the phone ringing that bothers you there are ways to turn it down or off completely

Re: Who calls someones house at 9:40PM when they have small children

Well whats your cutoff time?

9:40 just slides under the 10pm cutoff

Re: Who calls someones house at 9:40PM when they have small children

Wow, you guys are making me feel old and crotchity

The other night she left a message asking if I wanted her daughters old canopy bed for Emma. IMO that is something that could wait until morning, no?

Re: Who calls someones house at 9:40PM when they have small children

For me, I don't think 9:40pm is too late. I usually tell my friends to call me after 9pm. Nate's been sleeping for 2 hours and I usually wind down by then so I like to catch up with people then. 11pm is usually my limit though bc that's when I go to sleep.

If I knew someone had little kids I wouldnt call their house past 8:30. That is just rude!

ditto
I wouldnt even factor in that someone has kids when im calling them at this time. I ouldnt think the kids could even hear the phone if they're sleeping

Re: Who calls someones house at 9:40PM when they have small children

People call me at that time often but things like that don't really bother me. When calling other people I try to make 10pm the cut off.

Re: Who calls someones house at 9:40PM when they have small children

Yea, 10 is my "cut off" too. I guess if you have told her it bothers you and she continues to call late then I'd be annoyed.

Yes, but the computer doesn't make a loud ring ring in 3 different locations in my house. Turning the phone off is too much of a pain. People know not to call cause the kids are asleep.

Isn't running and picking it up better then letting it ring and ring if you are home and up anyway

Re: Who calls someones house at 9:40PM when they have small children

I only have one friend with a baby and my friend is the one who goes to bed early, not just the baby, so I know when to call.

These days I hardly have time to call anyone because of my schedule so I just e-mail.
