To think that maybe you shouldn't text people at midnight?

[Sallystyle]

This really isn't a big deal but I wondered how many people happily texts someone late at night.

My son belongs to a football team and the manager always sends out a text a couple of days before to let us know if it is still on and any other information we might need to know. Every week he texts us all around midnight without fail. Personally, it doesn't bother me as I don't sleep well but I imagine it could be annoying for others.

I have my mobile on all night in case of emergencies (and it's my alarm clock) and I assume that most people do as well now plenty of people no longer have landlines. I treat texting like I would a phone call, I wouldn't call anyone at midnight and neither would I send a text that late.

So what about you? would you mind getting a text at midnight for something that could wait for a reasonable time? and do you ever send text messages that late?

I said I have thought about it but didn't know for sure where the fees go. It's not like I have asked him.

I don't have a bad attitude towards it, I stated over and over again that I personally wasn't bothered but it made me think of texting etiquette in general. So while you probably do get a lot of bad attitude from parents please don't lump me into that group. That is not me at all and except for saying I am not sure if he gets paid at all I really haven't said anything to imply I am one of those parents who doesn't appreciate his time and the job he does.

Plus, I don't know much about how it is run, no. It is mainly something he does with his father (my ex) so while I get the texts I very rarely see him as the training always falls on the weekends when my son is with his father.
