In general, though, I'm all for letting the kids contact the other parent whenever they want. But there are factors that could make this inappropriate, so we need more details.
My ex was/is very controlling and focused in his image/ego, and thus demanded a check-the-box call with the daughters every day. They did it and he and they barely said anything. It eventually petered out. He does his Disney dad stuff on his weekends and a dinner out with big desserts once a week. They have shallow, check the box “conversations.”
