[quote=Anonymous]I think it's totally reasonable to say no to something that doesn't work, but I also think that it's reasonable for you to have a different relationship with your Dad than your DH has with his mom. Can you say "Dad, now that they're in sports, our evenings are really rushed, can we find another time to talk?" and then think about another way to connect each day that might work? If you drive them to school, maybe they call him or text him from the car? Or maybe you call on the way back from soccer, or whatever? Or maybe on the weekdays the kids send an emoji, and then a longer call every Saturday? [/quote]
