    .... Then, 3 hours later, she texted me a picture of dcg sleeping soundly in her bed with a caption about her being the most perfect angel. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

    Now I need to grow some gonads and send the text saying that she's already violating the new policy. I hate confronting people
    Seriously?! Because you want to interrupt your life for a photo of their dog? Oy vey...

        Yes time for a text to dcm. AND possibly bombard her with your own version of 'look at me!!!' pictures.

            I would tell her that you don't have unlimited texting, and that when you get picture texts it counts even higher for your monthly bill. I would say that you are unwilling to incur a higher cell phone bill & that is why you instituted the no texting after hours rule.

                It sounds like she thinks your friends not just business clients

                  I know it might be a pain but you could always put the text conversation on mute notifications in the evening. You have to turn it on in the morning - it's kind of a pain

                    Yup.

                    Respond when you wake up, the earlier the better. Respond in an annoying way.

                    (each line as a separate text) I get up at 4:30.
                    Sorry, just saw this!
                    I don't have my phone on after business hours.
                    I sent home a note about it.
                    Did you read my note about that?
                    How cute!
                    Aww love her blanket
                    is her room pink?
                    What pj's is she wearing?
                    she looks so peaceful
                    what time did she fall asleep?
                    Oh, sorry!
                    Just realized what time it was!
                    I get up so early for the first child to arrive.
                    That's why it's hard for me to get evening texts.
                    See you at 8!

                              I love that, and if this ever becomes an issue I may get up super early long enough to do that!
