| Omg, you was kid will be fine for a week without hearing from you. If that concerned, just text or call dad to check in on her and ask for a time to talk to her that is at mil convenience. No need to create drama when mil is doing something nice and sweet for your daughter and you |
Uh, you can’t do anything about visits with grandma during the other parent’s custodial time. Guess what - when you get divorced you lose the control. |
It's still totally inappropriate and bad for the child. |
the MIL is creating the drama. |
You don’t get to make the rules when it’s Dads week. |
That's not the way for kids to feel secure. At all. We see so many kids at school experiencing his anxiety and stress due to these types of situations. Grow up, parents. |
| It's unacceptable. The kids should have access to both parents at all times. |
Put the child first, not the parents. |
+ 1 absurd to think otherwise |
This. Poor kid is bounced around from Dad to Grandma and Grandma doesn't even want her talking to her own mother once a day. That's just not right. Shame on Grandma and Dad. |
| Absurd, and I would not agree. If the child wants to speak to her mother - and I'm sure she does - it is absolutely not the MIL's place to deny her that. What a horrible person. |
^ Ex-MIL |
+1 The kid is 7 years old! Let her talk to her mother. ex MIL is way way out of line. |
If the kid wants to call Mom, fine. Mom can not just demand time with the kid anymore than Dad can when it’s not his week. If the roles were reversed, people here would be telling Dad to stop calling. |
PP here. Nope, not me. I think it's very sad the way some parents view divorce, and moving on, and "their" rights, etc. Kids are left to "just deal." It's wrong and not in their best interests. |
