Need help saving my family - part 8

[Scorp7]

Another thing that has been happening off and on is when I call my kids at night my wife or MIL will cut the call off saying it's time for bed, to get ready for bed etc. My W has instituted a very strict schedule for our kids which was a fairly big change from how we raised them before. We had always kept a schedule but it varied a bit from day to day depending on circumstances. Now all of our kids are in bed by 8pm each night whether they are tired or not.

Anyway, it really isn't very cool that my W will cut the call off when I am in the middle of talking to my kids. Often I am lucky if I talk to them for more than 10 minutes. My D4 doesn't like to talk on the phone that much and my S2 is obviously too young to talk that much although he does sometimes. Basically though I often only get to speak to my kids for no more than 10-20 minutes a day and then, whether I am done talking to them or not, my W or MIL will say it's time for the call to stop.

My W had setup a few Skype video chats earlier this year but that has since stopped now as well.

Is it just me or is she going out of her way to be as nasty as she can? Our kids need both of us equally and since I am reduced to only speaking with them on the phone for most of the time right now I think I should be able to speak to them for as long as they want to talk, provided they still get to bed at a good time.
