I almost hijacked another thread....so I had to come back to my own.

Ok, so the kids call him every night to tell him goodnight. When I place this phone call do I have a polite conversation with him or do I just pass the phone off to the kids and take it back when they hang up?

Am I basically building a friendship devoid of any and all relationship type talking?
