Husband on work trip in Boston demands wife wake up 3-year-old toddler at 11 PM so he can talk to her, wife refuses: 'No one wants to talk to my 3 year old at 11pm'

Toddlers have specific bedtimes. If you're not a parent yourself, you definitely remember this from when you were a kid. I raged against my bedtime almost every night. But it's important that children have a routine. It's one of the most fundamental parts of raising a child. They need a structure to hold them to prevent them from going off the rails. And you know what it's like when a toddler goes off the rails. It's not pretty, and nobody wants to be around for it. That's why keeping a similar bedtime every night is crucial. It also ensures that they're getting enough sleep. A sleep-deprived toddler? That's one of the most dangerous animals on the planet. 

On the other hand, adult life is chaotic. You might not always be in the same time zone as your kid. Does this entitle you to a phone call with them, no matter what time it is? That's the question this family was debating when the father was away on a business trip. He wanted some phone time with his precious child, but the mom thought it was too late.
