[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
 
Well it sounds like the parent in charge that week did make that choice. Too bad for OP that it wasn't her choice, but that's the way it goes with divorce.[/quote]

No. A judge would allow her to call very young child. The grandma is lucky OP allowed her to go there that week. That could easily be stopped.

OP get your child a phone. [/quote]
