I've given that some thought as well. I would need to tighten up our schedule, to free up a specific time. Like most single parents, our afternoon/evenings are chaotic, never the same day twice.

I think I am just going to ignore the calls when they are inconvenient and answer them when they are not. Last night W texted, after calling a couple times. She asked that I have daughter phone her. I replied, "tonight isn't good. We are running late and still need to do our reading before bed". Maybe she was happy with that reply (probably not), but that seems completely reasonable to me...... any thoughts?
