Other than that, I could ask that the kids be allowed to talk with me longer each night if they want to
Yea....
I know that I would be telling her instead of asking...
I WILL be calling the kids at 7 every night. And if there is any attempt to block this, then I will be taking them back to my province with me, and I will allow you to speak with them every night at 7.....
That's just me though....
Oh, and I wouldn't have allowed the house to be removed from my MIL either ( insert assorted Wizard of Oz random thoughts here)
