Hi everyone, need advice...!
I have a dsd (6) and 2dc (3 and 1 yrs). Dsd has settled with us after much hard work and has a routine which has helped her settle. Both dp and i work and as we step into the house after a day's work, the phone starts ringing and it is dsd's mother. She calls 2-3 times within 2 hours! Now i know she likes to say goodnight but that really disrupts the evening as if the call is too long then dsd starts missing her mum and the evening drags into tears and talks and my other dcs dont get to eat or sleep on time. Dsd does like the calls from her mum but i believe that what she likes and what is good for her are 2 different things.
Would it be ok for me to say to dsd mum that please call only once and call early evening rather than before bed time as all my hard work is being undone. But what if she says that she wants to say goodnight?
