I do call earlier but they just cut the call off earlier or don't answer the call at all. My MIL imposed a time for me to call around 7:30 each night. If I called say at 7 they won't answer. I have called at 7:15 to 7:20 most nights and they will answer (my D6 or D4 answer 99% of the time, my W or MIL will never answer the phone) but then the call gets cut off early most of the time.

It seems when my MIL is not around my W will let our kids talk to me for as long as they want, sometimes for 45 minutes or more. She will even encourage the kids to talk to me. If my MIL is around though it's a totally different story.
