Hey I feel you on this. My mom used to do the same thing. But now that I'm a mom i still don't understand why she done it. When my daughter get old enough to have a cell phone and if she wants one then i will get it for her.(She's only 19 months right now.) And if she wants to be up at midnight talking to a friend or something she can as long as she's not planing on sneaking out of the house. Well i hope everything works out for you.

I'm sure this is not what you want to hear so no 10 points for me, but, I would be upset if it was my daughter too. For one thing, he's 18 and as a parent and a woman who's been there, done that, I can say he's probably only after one thing. Also, my 16 year old had better not be on the phone to anyone at midnight! Especially a guy, no matter the age.

Calling at midnight - any day of the week is rude, plain and simple, and shows a lack of respect for the other person. That is a normal sleep time and he should be aware of that.
My teen-age daughter had a casual friend from school that used to call at 10 or so - on school nights - and later on weekend nights. It is too late to be calling to "chat". It would make me very leary if it was a boy calling her, but I was not at all happy with the late night calls, period.
If he wants to chat, he can call at a reasonable hour. Doesn't make any difference if the phone is on vibrate so it doesn't disturb anyone else. Rude behavior always starts small and then gets worse as time goes on.

My daughter is 23 now, but when she was in high school she had a beeper..
Age 15-17
I got a phone bill that had some local long distance calls being made @ 1,2,3 am!
I asked her if she had made these calls, she said yes, I asked why she would use the phone at those hours and she sd her friends (boys) had paged her.
Before I lost it I took a deep breath, calmed down and told her that if I found another call on our phone bill...I would take away her pager...the calls did stop.
Needless to say I bought her a cell phone (she was working and cld pay the bill).
Problem solved. But!!! I do agree with her parents--18 yr old man/boys only have one thing on their minds! It has nothing to do with whether she has school the next morning...or whose cell is it is!
You should listen to your parents, they are just trying to protect you and keep you from making and future mistakes...

Our house has a rule of no calls after 10:00 unless it's an emergency. Even if you don't mean to, voices carry at night when the house is quiet and you are probably waking people up. I agree with the other people, there is nothing that can be said at midnight that can't be said at 8:00.

I would ask your parents why they got so upset. Even if the phone was on vibrate chances are they heard you talking which was an interruption of their sleep. The rule at my house is my daughter can have all the phone calls she wants till 10 pm and then nothing even if it is on her cell phone. Your parents probably do not want this guy to think that he can call you at all hours of the day and night, but I would ask them.

as a parent - I hope I am never that strict when my kids turn 16. I remember when I was that age and the fact my parents didn't want me to do something made me want to do it even more. Maybe you should sit down with them and have a family meeting about house rules and responsibility. The only way to learn to be responsible is if you are given the chance to make some choices on your own.

Your 16, On your phone at midnight to a 18 yr old, looks kind of dodgy, like your trying to hide something. Maybe your speaking too loudly? It is an inconsiderate time to be calling.

I'm a parent, and I know that I would be concerned if some guy was calling my daughter at midnight. I'm sure that they could probably trust YOU, but unfortunately, there are a lot of sick people out there, and they're only looking out for your well-being. Besides, it is rather inappropriate to be calling that late at night anyway. It's just bad manners.

Not so much the phone call, but the age difference would be what your parents are worried about. As long as you are living under their roof you should abide by their rules whether you think they are fair or not. Who pays for your cell phone? I assume your parents. Careful how you handle this unless you are ready to move out.
