Told not to contact while away

[Nanodust]

I'm currently away on business. This is the first time I've ever been away my DCs are 3 and 4. I will be away for 12 days
As you can imagine I will miss them a lot. I Skyped last night to say i had arrived safely and to say hello. My DH was at his parents so skyped there.
The conversation on lasted about 5 mins.
I've now been told by my DH that because my DS were sad and down after that he and his parents think it is best that I don't contact again and just see them when I return.
I feel very sad about this. I could understand a compromise, say once every 3 or 4 days, but not at all seems very harsh to me.
What do you think? Am I being unreasonable?

Long work patterns are not a new thing neither are parents who work away.Also half of my children are adults and I'm a grandmother so I am well aware about how they feel

Would you care to point to anywhere at all in any post I have ever made on this site where I say my way is the best way?

You are being less than graceful about your misunderstanding and I have a gripping episode of Thomas the tank engine featuring Stephen the rocket that I need to watch.

I imagine you mean gracious and I don't feel apologetic in the slightest You may be a grandmother but it doesn't mean squat about knowing what's best for someone else's children, or having a deep understanding of what's going on with them psychologically. We need to have that understanding and apply it, otherwise mistakes occur that are costly to children.

Parents working away isn't new, but then this issue isn't new. And your point is?

As I've already pointed out, you claimed that it is sometimes/often (can't be bothered to scroll up having already quoted you once) best for children to have no contact with the other parent. This is a huge claim to make and we've established that you have absolutely no evidence to support it, so I've run out of steam, as it were. Enlightening this was not.

Just realised I asked you a question - please don't trouble to answer it as I'm life is too short for this thread to continue.

And your made up reserch is better than my ability to read judgements and qualified expert reports actually written for the individual children the judgements are about?

It's been nearly a couple of weeks since the Ops last post. She probably isn't coming back.

For what it's worth I think this is a damned if you do, damned if you don't. He didn't want you to go away, and you were being punished. I hope things are okay now.
