[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You MIL is out of line to expect her grandchild have no contact with her MOTHER for a week. That’s outrageous and I’d shit that down now or no more can visits with grandma. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

True, you lose a lot of control, but there isn’t a judge that’s going to keep a parent from communicating with their child. That’s just bizarre. [/quote]

No, a judge is not going to order that parent be allowed to make nightly calls when it’s not their time.  I agree that this isn’t appropriate unless the calls are causing a problem, either riling up the child or interfering with what’s going on, but don’t think OP can force it.  Also don’t think that shutting down dad from calling is a good idea.  Petty reaction that hurts the child.  I wonder if MIL feels like OP is calling to “check up on her”.  Or maybe she is worried that kid will complain about her.  I’m not divorced but there have been times when my kid has complained to dad on the phone about mom being so mean...you know, because I’ve insisted on a bath or bedtime or something else my child doesn’t want.  It’s a tough situation but I think one of the downsides of divorce.  Sorry, OP.[/quote]

Disagree. I think a parent has an absolute right to check on a child when they are with a 3rd party caregiver. Cutting off the parent could also consitute parental alienation. [/quote]
