Okay, so maybe I'm just an old fuddy-duddy, but I was raised in a home where you just did not make phone calls after 9PM, unless someone was dead or dying, basically. I know that was pre-cellphones, but surely that doesn't make a difference. Do you consider it rude to call people after 9PM in non-emergent situations?
One of DH's co-workers has a (high school age) son who takes "Computer Science" at school. DH is familiar with the particular language they've been working in, so he has been helping kid. I don't have any issue with that - I like the kid, I like the co-worker, and everyone should have someone they can ask for help.
But last night this kid called DH at 10PM and kept him on the phone 'til after 11. It woke me up, and a woken-up Witchey is a grumpy Witchey. School is over for the year, this kid is not working on homework or prepping for exams, so this really is stuff that could have waited for daylight.
So, here's where I want your input, Knotties: 1) is it rude to call after 9PM? and 2) can I ask DH to not answer calls from this kid after 9PM? Would that be unreasonable? (I say specifically this kid, because I don't think anyone else would call after 9PM unless it was an actual life-or-death type thing.)
Edited because words.
