[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And come to think of it, I didn't see it mention anywhere that the time with grandma was happening on the ex's time. Is it?

I don't think OP specified.  But what she did say is that she didn't have childcare and had to rely on grandmother.

I think it's kind of crazy that grandmother is not wanting OP to call.  But, OP left out a lot of details, like why and when she calls and how often she calls and how her child reacts to her calls.  Regardless, when you are relying on someone for childcare, it's kind of their rules.  [b]Also, if it's on her ex's time, she isn't going to have any control over whether her child gets to continue seeing her grandmother.[/b]  [/quote]

But life doesn't follow custody schedule, so OP does in fact have control over whether her child will continue to see her grandmother.  Do birthdays fall neatly into custody schedules? Do school performances, games, recitals? Other stuff? If OP wants to, she can indeed minimize contact with grandmother, and that would be entirely her right as a parent.

LOL to following someone else's rules when you're relying on them for childcare.  Wrong. OP can always find another nanny.  Grandma can't find another grandchild.  Bottom line is that it's her child, her rules, and grandma has to follow the rules if she wants to continue to see her grandchild. It's the mom's game. [/quote]
