Just curious here. Asking those with DC who are not together with their children's mum/dad.
Do you allow your child to keep in contact with their other parent via text message or WhatsApp?
If no, can I ask your reason why.
I'm asking this because my husband is not allowed to keep in contact with DD because "it's not your weekend to have her, why do you need to text her?". DD is of age where she is allowed a phone, but has told us again that she's not allowed to respond to texts (usually how has school (or homeschooling) been? Or just general chat) because she gets in trouble from her mum and gran. I can maybe understand why they don't want her to keep in touch with me (step parent), but why not her dad who she has a fantastic relationship with?
I'm not here to start a debate, I just want an understanding to see if it is a reasonable ask to keep in contact with your DC.
