Well, he's calling on our land line, which does not currently have an answering machine. We're looking at that as an option.

He does have control over the list and had chosen to have everyone on it "for emergencies." It's never been used for an emergency, only for these weekly calls about attendance.

For me it's as much about his attitude toward the whole thing. He thinks it's kind of funny that he wakes me up. And he can't see the parallel between his fury over the possibility of a 1 AM call disturbing his family and my annoyance at weekly 7:15 PM calls.

I guess I should count myself lucky that this is the biggest thing I have to worry about right now.
