I would absolutely say the bolded part, but not the second part.  I do think she's being ridiculous.  [/quote]

Same PP, following up:  I call my parents weekly on the phone.  I do not teleconference DH in, because those are calls between me and my parents.  People have relationships with parents (or grandparents) that are specific to them.  DH has his own parents that he talks to; I think they're lovely and sometimes we talk without him, but not usually.

I also do not think he has to join the call for 5 minutes to be polite.  It's rude to drag somebody onto a call (in any context) if they don't need to be there; it feels like the parents trying to control his time.  They should focus on their grandkid who is the reason for the call and likely has a pretty short attention span at this age anyway.  If they can't hear that message then OP should just say her spouse is at the store or something.[/quote]
