[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not divorced, so go ahead and take this with a grain of salt, but if someone tried to keep me from talking to my young child for a week, that person would never see my kid again. It sounds like you and your ex have a reasonably good relationship. I'd call him back and tell him you gave it some thought, but this isn't a reasonable request. Point out that the two of you have prioritized making sure that you each have access to your child and that she has access to each of you, regardless of whose week it is. And frankly, that's simply what's in your daughter's best interest. What kind of person tells a 7 year old they can't talk to one of their parents whenever they want, much less for a whole week?[/quote]

Up until now, you have both made efforts to allow contact between both parents on a nightly basis, which is fantastic, and truly doing what is best for the child.  I'm assuming that also means you have a half decent relationship with ExDH, and can hopefully discuss with him.  Maybe he's afraid to stand up to his mom, but this is something that needs to be addressed.  As for some of the comments about if it is upsetting your daughter... have that conversation with him.  If this is just about grandma being jealous and not wanting to share her time with you, then it needs to be shut down.  If it is causing your daughter distress, then you need to talk to your daughter about that and possibly call at another time or less often (e.g. if it gets her riled up before bedtime, maybe it would be better to do a good morning call).[/quote]
