I have a parent who feels quiet time is the perfect time to call me to chat about her child's day. I have tried dropping hints (okay more like bombshells) that it's not a good time. I finally stopped answering the phone. When she comes to pick up I will say something like "I saw you called but I was rocking the baby and couldn't make it" or something similar. On one hand I don't want to upset the parent (who is a very good client with a very good child) but quiet time just isn't a good time - it's not really a total "break" for me, and if I do get a few minutes to put my feet up the last thing I want to do is chat on the phone - with anyone!
I'm thinking I'll stick to "it's not a good time" I just hope she gets it...
