[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A relative's child spends a week with me every year and has since she was 6 (she's now 10).

The girl is always happy-as-can-be, having the time of her life everyday all day long.  If her parents call at night she gets all woe is me, sniff sniff, I'm homesick, mommy I miss you blah blah.  She never once mentions missing home or her parents otherwise.

So her mom doesn't call as much anymore when she comes.  Obviously they talk a few times over the course of the week but the nightly bedtime call just isn't necessary and impeded the girl's ability to adapt to staying with different people in a different environment.  There's a reason why parents can't communicate with their kids all the time when they send them to sleep away camp.

Your ex MIL's request may be coming from a similar place and only seems malicious or aggressive because it's coming down the line, telephone-game style from your ex. [/quote]

Maybe.  But that needs to be communicated more clearly - and it's the parents' choice, not grandmas or aunts. [/quote]
